Are You Ready? // Hope in Hard Times

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 13:56:38 +0000

Our confident expectation is on Jesus’ promised return. Yet it is essential to have a realistic hope, understanding the delay and difficulty we must endure, as we wait for His return. Jesus is lovingly clear about what to expect in the “end times” leading to His return and how we can prepare ourselves. This message will answer many questions about the “end times”, the rapture, and the return of Jesus. And more, will help you answer for yourself: are you ready?

True Eternal Security // Hope in Hard Times

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 15:39:39 +0000

Hope is not wishful thinking but a sure confidence in God and His word. This message will help you discern between false security, insecurity, and true eternal security in Christ.

Are We There Yet!? // Hope in Hard Times

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 00:53:09 +0000

As followers of Jesus we need to embrace being “In-Betweeners”. Because the Kingdom of God is both here now and yet not in full, we are living in between Jesus’ first and second coming. Understanding that tension, embracing the journey, and learning to be “pilgrims” is vital to hope.

Key to Abraham

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 21:28:06 +0000

As we continue in our series out of Genesis, the book of beginnings, we journey with Abraham to see see how God transformed him and how God can restart our faith and transform us too.

I love how real and how raw Abraham was. I love how God worked through his imperfections. And despite Abraham’s flaws, there was something that set him apart; something that moved the heart of God, attracted favor, and released the miraculous.

What was it!? What is the key to Abraham’s life? As you listen to this message may you see how you can imitate Abraham and position yourself for deeper friendship with God and supernatural intervention from Him in your life.

Enjoy!

Transformation of Abraham

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Sat, 08 Sep 2018 19:10:31 +0000

What do you do when your phone starts glitching or your computer freezes? RESTART!

Sometimes our device get overloaded or the power runs down or a code messes a program up and it just needs a reboot. Sometimes we glitch and need a reboot too–we get weary, loose our way, start believing lies.

Genesis, the book of beginnings, is not only about creation; it is about God’s original intent, about real people learning to walk with the real God in genuine faith. The Lord has been teaching me about faith and walking with Him through this raw book of beginnings. I have been inspired by the messiness of Genesis and the beauty of God’s intervention. Through this book, God is calling us back to the beginning; He is restarting our faith and walk with Him.

This audio message is about the transformation of Abraham. I had never seen this before: how God took Abraham from being a person of compromise to a person of complete surrender, from hesitant fear to unwavering faith.

I hope the journey of Abraham and the journey I have been on will bless you as you listen to these messages about God’s transformation in the lives of people like Abraham, Sarah, Judah, and Joseph. I hope you will see how God can RESTART your faith and draw you deeper into walking with Him in intimate friendship that radically transforms your life and those around you.

Enjoy!

Dignity

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Thu, 31 May 2018 01:42:54 +0000

When you don’t know who you are, the enemy can lie to you. When you don’t know what you have, the enemy can steal from you. In this series of messages, God has been speaking to us about our inheritance-what we have in Christ as His blood bought children. We need to know who we are and what we have in Christ so we can walk in confidence into all God has for us.

In this message, we explore our inheritance of financial dignity. Though this truth entails more than finances, there is a dignity we have as children of God who have promises from God. That dignity can free us from the easy traps of envy and fear and empower us to be extravagant givers, wise investors, and content enjoyers of life.

Enjoy!

Eternal Inheritance

info@expansionstl.com (Pastor David Turner ) — Sat, 26 May 2018 14:43:52 +0000

Eternity puts life in perspective.

When you see your eternal inheritance in Christ, even beyond the blessings of this life, it puts suffering and success in the right light. All of the pain and heartache of this present life cannot compare to the weight of glory we will experience in heaven. Even all of God’s blessings now, and our calling now, cannot compare to the weight of glory we will receive. When we know our eternal inheritance, we can access that inheritance by faith through the power of the Holy Spirit for our life now.

In this message, be refreshed by a glimpse at your eternal inheritance and be reminded that the Holy Spirit is the down payment of that inheritance. Eternal life doesn’t start when you die; it starts now. I pray you would be filled with hope as you listen to God’s word.

Enjoy!
