Elijah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Feb 10, 2023

Elijah was a mighty man of God. He stood like a stone wall against idolatry, and he was not afraid to speak truth to power or tell the people what they needed to hear.

His name means, “Yahweh is my God,” and he certainly lived up to his name, standing in sharp contrast against the idolatry of the day. His primary ...read more

God Loves Us Too Much To Leave Us

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 7, 2022

God wants a holy people, worshiping rightly and living rightly. He loves us too much to leave us in sin.

Jesus, The Great Prophet (Luke 7:11-16) Series
