    People expect only the ceremonial from the church. But God wants to give us a rich, varied, and outward-reaching life.

    Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

    On the occasion of a weekend conference for training men in worship, this sermon challenges the men to expect God’s blessing on their small beginning.

    Psalm 92, Ezekiel 31:1-6,10-14, 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, Mark 4:26-34 From a mustard seed One things that grabs the attention of St. Athanasius parishioners today is the presence of all these men in our fellowship for the Lord’s worship on the Sunday morning.

    The advice Jesus gives in this parable about what to do with evil is so different from what we would expect

    Living Under Grace – 3 – Parable of the Wheat and the Tares - 1 Half acre of 6 foot high thistles in the paddock • You won’t believe the nice clean solution I came up with to get rid of those thistles – run the trail bike through them to create a path so I could walk through and spray them • Got ...read more

    Christian Adversity

    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,387 views

    Adversity is to be expected in the life of a Christian, but how we handle adversity will determine it’s effect and outcome in our life.

    Intro: Paul’s main emphasis here seems to be that God has opened a door for effective ministry and that he has faced much opposition. Opposition was not new to Paul neither is it uncommon for any believer, for the Bible tells us that we have an adversary the devil, who goes about as a roaring ...read more

    The book of Daniel contaians many prophesies. Concerning the end of time Daniel tell us to expect: Resurrection, Retribution, and Reward!

    The End Of Time Scott R Bayles, preacher I’m sure several people here this morning have seen the bumper stickers, "In case of rapture this car will be unmanned," or some else like that. While such statements are intended to be funny to some, there are confusing to others. Many people have read the ...read more

    The Surrendered Life

     | 20,976 views

    The Surrendered Life is what God requires. Anything else falls short. If we expect victory we must surrender.

    THE SURRENDERED LIFE Text: Galatians 2 : 20 The word surrender conjures up many pictures. We think of Japan’s surrender at the end of WW II. Maybe we picture the celebrations in Times Square. To some it may be the image of Saddam Hussein and his spider-hole. And to others just a simple wrestling ...read more

    God looks at us as ‘living stones’ but not many of us live up to the expectation of God, do we?

    Mighty Wall! 1 Peter 2:5 “you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” I would like to share an illustration I read somewhere: “There’s a story about a king of ...read more

    In this life as Christians we all can expect to be tested at times by Satan and even the LORD Himself of course without evil.

    A Tried Saint See: Exodus 15:22-27 We find in this passage God leaves these Canaanites in the land to “prove” Israel. The Bible makes it very clear that all through our lives on this earth there will be many times in which we be tested not only by Satan with evil, but also by God ...read more

    A message from 2 Timothy about what God expect from us after He gifts and calls us.

    Introduction Paul here is giving Timothy some instructions as a father in the ministry. He makes an analogy between three areas of life compared to being a Christian. I believe that Paul does this to help Timothy understand the using of his gift of pasturing. This can also be applied to 1) ...read more

    It's Time To Wake Up

     | 12,733 views

    God expects His people to produce good fruit, and He gives this example as a warning for His people to wake up.

    The superscription at the top of the page in my Bible says, "A parable of a vineyard." Parables use an obvious situation to bring out a far deeper truth. It has been said that "Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meanings." Let me give you something about the setting of Isaiah 5. When ...read more
