The Stranded Baptist

Becoming participants in God's amazing work - Matthew 14:22-36

What can we learn from the story of Jesus walking on water? This amazing work of God teaches us a lot about faith, grace and leaves a question asked by Jesus himself.

The miracle of God in our sacrifice - Matthew 14:1-21

Today we jump back into the book of Matthew, we learn about the death of John the Baptist and the expectations of people concerning Jesus and how he took the small sacrifice of a boy to do an amazing miracle.

The hopeful reaping in the hardship - Daniel 12:1-13

Today we wrap up our series going through the book of Daniel with the last chapter dealing with the end of days and eternity in view.

War of empires and the perseverance of God's people part 2 - Daniel 11:14-45

Today we go over the latter half of chapter 11 dealing with the unfolding infighting in the Greek empires leading up to Antiochus Epiphanes and the persecution of the jews, giving us hints as to what the anti christ will look like and do.

The war of empires and the perseverance of the people of God - Daniel 11:1-13 (Sermon)

In the 6th century Daniel writes down a detailed prophecy of the coming centuries, the development of the Persian Empire and the coming of Alexander the Great, his rise to power and the division of his empire followed by war within those divisions.

Today we read through the passage, look back at history and see what God has to teach us from this in our daily lives.

Our God who calls and qualifies the called - Daniel 10:1-21

In Daniel 10 we see Daniel writing about his experiences in receiving the visions in coming chapters, and their heavy burden.

Today we look into the text, see what Daniel is seeing and also see the hard calling on his life, but get encouraged that our God does not only call people to hard callings, but qualifies the called.

Prophecy concerning when Christ would come - Daniel 9:20-27

Today we go over four points:
The Reliability of our Faith (Verse 22)
The Hope of our Faith (Verse 24)
The Accuracy of our Faith (Verse 25-26)
The Hardship of the Faithful (Verse 26-27)

Daniel, in a prayer of repentance for Israel points out to us our complete reliance on the grace and compassion of God, and in so doing underlines one of the distinct characteristics of the Christian faith.

What does eschatology teach us? What good is it to focus on what has yet to happen? Is it for us to predict the coming of Christ?  To make charts and become doomsday preppers?  

Today we jump into Daniel 7 dealing with the end times, and prophecy yet to be fulfilled with Daniel 8 in view of events that had been delivered as a prophecy of events yet to happen but now from our perspective are things that have happened.

A question overheard at the ice cream store that is heard elsewhere! Did God kill 42 children for mocking Elisha the prophet by sending two bears?

We dive into the passage of 2. Kings 2.

Today we look at a vision Daniel sees in the 6th century BC about events about to unfolding in the coming centuries and see how God has shown his sovereignty over history as we look at events in the 2nd century BC when the prophecy is fulfilled.

To celebrate Christmas we read through the story of the birth of our Savior Jesus Chirst.
