Contributed on Jun 24, 2002
We have too much distracting us from God and not enough attracting us to God. We often speak of all the worldly distractions we face as believers, but let me tell you about the greatest distraction I ever faced.

2. Elijah: The Unpredictable Will Of God
Contributed on Jun 24, 2002
We never get what we expect or deserve, we get what we need for spiritual growth, and we recieve grace and mercy.
Wouldn’t it have been easier if God just would’ve have simply killed Ahab and Jezebel and replaced them with a Godly king and queen? If I was advising Elijah on these matters that’s what I would have advised him to pray for. I mean a drought is a painful thing, no rain for 3 ½ years is bad. ...read more

Contributed on Jul 1, 2002
BEFORE GOD CAN MOLD US INTO WHAT HE HAS CREATED US TO BE HE MUST FIRST MELT US.
Intro: When I was about 5 or 6 years old I went through a mid childhood crises. I was the youngest of 4 children and by the time I was 5 years old I was tired of being referred to as the baby.

6. Elijah: "The Emotional Roller Coaster”
Contributed on Jul 22, 2002
A look at the dangers of depression, and what God has done to help us in our times of emotional overload.
Humor: Have you ever heard this expression, "It’s enough to make a preacher cuss." It reminds me of story about little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. The local pastor walked up and he was able to persuade him to buy the worn out lawn mower. The pastor pulled on the rope several times to make sure ...read more

7. Elijah: "God's Remedy For Depression”
Contributed on Jul 22, 2002
God had provided us with an answer to every problem we face in this life. In this story of Elijah God gives us His remedy for overcoming depression.
In our last message, we were forced to leave Elijah in the depths of despair. We last saw the prophet sitting under a juniper tree, asking God to take his life. The mighty prophet of God is discouraged and depressed. He has been used mightily of the Lord and he had expected a great revival to ...read more

Elijah’s ...read more
