    Waiting is one of the hardest things we are called to do. And sometimes our expectations get skewed in the meantime.

    Passage: Matthew 11:1-6 Intro: There are few things in the human experience as intense as waiting for something. 1. It seems like we spend our whole lives waiting to grow up, for our birthdays, our graduation, our marriage, our kids and our grandkids. 2. and of course, we wait in incredible ...read more

    A Peculiar Person

    There was ano doubt that John the Baptist was a peculiar man in more ways than one. But those who follow is his proclamatorial footprints will be peculiar too.

    Passage: Matthew 11:7-19 Intro: It’s easy to develop a low view of ourselves as we live in the world. 1. when the response of the world is to despise us, ridicule our faith, reject the One we love, not unusual for us to wonder if we are who we are portrayed to be. 2. but tucked here in ...read more

    My grandchildren sometimes play with a Jack-in-a-box. Sometimes we want a JESUS-IN-A-BOX too. We want Him to fit into our pre-conceived ideas of who He should be and how He should act.

    Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - JESUS-IN-A-BOX! I get the privilege and opportunity to speak to many old people in the course of my day. Being a chaplain and Pastor in an aged care facility (fancy name for old people’s nursing home) I am fascinated by the amazing lives that they have led. Last week I ...read more

    While Kevin Costner starred in a movie called DANCES WITH WOLVES, Steve Irwin was wrestling with crocodiles in real life. I’m sure WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES is his Indian name or at least needs to be. John the Baptist has his own crocodiles to wrestle.

    Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES! He was nicknamed “THE CROCODILE HUNTER”, and he was a unique man with a smile as wide as fun itself and Australian to the core. You couldn’t help but remember STEVE IRWIN! He and his wife Terri owned and operated ...read more

    He was ROAD WORKER AND A PROPHET. He knew the road ahead. Jesus described him as "MORE THAN A PROPHET". What is he getting at? He goes on to describe him in effect as a council ROAD WORKER, PREPARING THE ROAD for Jesus to come.

    Part 3 - Matthew 11:7-11 - THE GREATEST ROADWORKER WHO EVER LIVED! My sister and her husband Pete are on a holiday working their way through OUTBACK PLACES in Australia. Unfortunately they can't travel on the dirt roads at the moment because of an unexpected rainy season. They have to stick to the ...read more

    "Well he started it!" "No I didn't, she did!" Sorry, I am just reminded of my childhood days when the arguments got too heated with my sister. But this is a slightly bigger battle. John started it and the repercussions of his actions have been ongoing.

    Part 4 - Matthew 11:12 - WELL HE STARTED IT! Since I had nothing better to do and everyone had gone out, I decided to watch the war movie "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN". It was some years ago now and I was at my daughter's house and Joel, my son-in-law had just connected his TV WITH SURROUND SOUND. The ...read more

    How can John the Baptist be Elijah the prophet? Reincarnation? Malachi 4:5 (NLT) gives a prophecy about Elijah. It says "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives."

    Part 5 - Matthew 11:13-14 - IN A PREVIOUS LIFE I WAS A DOLPHIN? I asked some friends what they thought about REINCARNATION last night and got some funny responses - should have known. One of them said "once, in a previous life, I was a dolphin... lol jk." Another one said "It’s weird to think you ...read more

    A look at John the Baptist's astonishing admission of doubt about who Jesus is and why we often have similar doubts.

    OUR COMPLAINT: “This is not what I signed up for.” - Matthew 11:2a – John in prison. - I cannot read the mind of John, but I can’t help but believe that a prison cell was the last place he expected to end up. - He is the great prophet of God, the forerunner of the ...read more

    Desperation And Transformation

    There are too many people in our churches today who want to follow Jesus and yet they reject the Bible. We need to be desperate for more of God.

    Back in the 1990’s a friend of mine pioneered church in Liberty, Missouri called Desperation Church. In 1995 Marie Barnett wrote the song Breathe, the chorus says, “I’m desperate for you.” Searching the music libraries of CCLI, there are at least 50 songs with the word “desperate” in the title. ...read more

    how to have faith when we feel discouraged

    IN MATTHEW 11:1-6 JOHN THE BAPTIST SEEMED TO BE DISCOURAGED. THIS SAME GREAT MAN OF GOD IS THE ONE WHO SAID: THIS IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. YET WHEN HE WAS UNFAIRLY PUT IN JAIL HE SEEMS TO DOUBT THE LAMB'S IDENTITY. ALL OF US GO THROUGH MOMENTS OF DISCOURAGEMENT. WHEN ...read more
