    When Jesus comes around your life are you like Zacchaeus who couldn’t wait to see and experience Jesus - or are you like the third servant in Jesus’ parable who wants nothing to do with the family business?

    If you’ve ever been laid off and received unemployment insurance you know the saying "able, available, and actively seeking." It’s what you’ve got to do in order to continue receiving those benefits. You are able to work, you are available to accept work, and you are actively seeking to find ...read more

    This message describes those prepared for Christ’s coming and those who were not. The religious crowd is indifferent. The leaders are worried. A widow is watching and an old man is waiting. Magi are wandering and worshipping. Which one describes you?

    Don’t miss Christmas (portions of this sermon are borrowed from illustrations and sermons on Sermon Central) Christmas time is a time filled with traditions. There is the time to get a Christmas tree and put it up along with the decorations. There are presents to buy, so there is shopping to do ...read more

    While we wait for Jesus to return, our task is to cooperate with God in his transforming work within us, to listen and obey. And it’s to continue to share the gospel with those around us; to share the glory of God with them.

    One of the things I love about travel is going to places that have a history behind them. To visit Rome, to see the Coliseum or the Roman Forum, to walk on paving stones that are 2000 years old, that maybe even Paul walked on when he was brought before Caesar. Last year I preached in a church that ...read more

    What Jesus does in the desert puts right the wrong that was done in the garden. Satan had been waiting for this as he watched Jesus grow day by day. Jesus restored the beauty and perfection that was the Garden of Eden while in the desolation of the desert

    A Snake in the Sand The greatest battle between a man and Satan is the one recorded here concerning Jesus temptation in the desert. Jesus has just been baptized by John the Baptist and as a result Jesus is revealed as the Lamb of God as John puts it. The Holy Spirit has come upon him like a ...read more

    based on 26 ratings
     | 26,626 views

    Children often want darkness removed because they fear what they cannot see. For adults the darkness is more of a friend. Jesus is the remover of darkness but the light of the world is still waiting for many to see it. Sometimes it is hard even for Christ

    Open up the yellow pages and you can find a ton of listings that will remove pretty much whatever you want removed. There are ads for chimney sweeps to remove built up grime.

    Confronted, Convicted, Changed Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 22, 2026
     | 65 views

    God is a gracious God who waits to show us things about ourselves in light of His Mercy for our good. He desires to release us from the past and He does it through times of famine in our lives.

    Confronted, Convicted, Changed In the last chapter, Genesis 42, we saw how famine drove Jacob to send his sons to Egypt to buy grain, having heard that they would find food there. The brothers unknowingly stood in front of their brother Joseph, who wanted to test their honesty so he accused ...read more

     | 176 views

    After fifteen years of waiting, the moment finally arrives—but it doesn't look like a Hollywood coronation. David is crowned in Hebron, a partial fulfillment that tests his stewardship of the small before he receives the great.

    The Day the Waiting Ends You know what's remarkable about the moment David finally becomes king? After everything. After the anointing in his father's house. After the years in the cave. After sparing Saul's life twice. After leading broken people in obscurity. After fighting ...read more

    Before most of us can transition, shift, move or be promoted to another dimension in someone else’s spot, someone has to be placed in a more superior rank than those that are waiting to be promoted or someone has to die.

    Have you ever been so excited to meet someone that you were almost scared? Or, have you waited for something so long that the closer the time comes to that day the more nervous and shaky you become?

    Happy “Encounter” Weekend, Everyone! A portion of one verse leading up to the Ten Commandments text is one of my favorite phrases in Exodus: “Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God” (Exodus 19:17a).
