“What Do You Expect?”
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
When you come to Church on a Sunday morning and you hear the three readings from the Word of God, and a sermon on the Word of God, what do you expect to happen from that? Or when you’re at home and you open your Bible and read part of it or do your Portals of Prayer devotions, what do you expect to happen? If we don’t ask that question, then we just might expect the wrong things. When you go home from church today do you expect to remember everything that was said and be absolutely amazed about it all the rest of the day? ‘Cause you’ll probably be disappointed then. When you open the Bible at home do you expect to hear angels singing? Or do you expect warm fuzzies every time you read it? Then you’ll be disappointed.

Puff Out Your Chest? -OR- Pick Up Your Cross?
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
After St. Paul did his work in Corinth, preaching the Gospel in that city, later on some other men came in there and started talking bad about Paul. They called him weak and ineffective. It became a battle for power. Who was better? Who should the people listen to? Well, St. Paul uses a great term for these guys. He twice calls them super-apostles (2 Cor. 11:5, 12:11). That’s right before and right after our Epistle today, he calls them super-apostles.
