    It’s obvious why kids look forward to Christmas. But today we’re going to look at two people who were looking forward in eager anticipation for a much different reason.

    INTRODUCTION: Remember when you were a kid and you couldn’t wait until Christmas arrived? When my brother and I were young, my Mom would have this Christmas calendar with cotton balls stuck to each of the squares. Each day we took turns taking a cotton ball off. We were excited to do so ...read more

    Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things to do. Apparently the whole life secret lies in it. What does waiting on the Lord include? Let me put it in three brief exhortations. Keep near Him; keep still; expect.

    Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

    It is not reasonable for us, like Thomas, to insist on seeing Jesus' wounds for ourselves before we believe; We have clouds of witnesses whose lives proclaim the truth of their words. What more do we need?

    Not too long ago I had some serious computer problems. I took my printer in to be repaired only to be told that it was a software problem. So I downloaded new installation software off of the Internet only to find that in doing so I had messed up my operating system. I tried to reinstall the ...read more

    This message is for those who are tired of frustration and those who are tired of watching unbelievers collecting what they are supposed to get. It is also for those who are determined that a transaction must happen in the heavens that would turn things a

    As we wait for Jesus to return, let’s keep our eyes focussed on the ministry Jesus has given us, the ministry of sharing the gospel with others, of building his kingdom. Let’s continue to pray for the coming of his kingdom, to strategise about how to see

    God’s word is the water that we must bathe in daily. We wash away everything that does not conform to the image of Christ. As God’s ’wife’ it must be our earnest desire for him to see us as beautiful and pleasing. O that we could be his delight.

    Opening illustration: Watch the video clip ‘God’s Valentine.’ Let us turn to Revelation 19 and catch up with John’s vision of the ‘Bride of Christ’ and how she gets herself ready for her Bridegroom. Introduction: The imagery and symbolism of marriage is applied to Christ and the body of believers ...read more

    An examination of the importance of and manner in which we are to wait on God in our lives.

    The saying goes: “Timing is everything.” That is so true. You see this to be obvious in the trauma operating room. The surgeon knows that to operate too quickly - before the patient’s vital signs are stabilized - will probably kill them on the table. But, he knows that to wait too long will ...read more

    We might think we have patience but the proof will be in the testing of it. Just like our faith needs to be tested, as James pointed out in chapter two, so does our patience. The people in chapter five had been under unjust suffering and they were, up to

    WAIT TRAINING James 5:7-12 INTRODUCTION: Someone once said, “Patience is a virtue; possess it if you can.
