    When God Shuts The Heavens To Speak To A Nation Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 198 views

    1 Kings 17 shows us that in times of spiritual and economic famine, God is never without a voice or a plan. Elijah's boldness, the widow’s obedience, and God's miracles remind us that we serve a God who speaks, provides, tests, and resurrects.

    Speak, Lord

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2026
     | 140 views

    When we are guilty of a lack of trust, like Elijah, we know that this sin too is forgiven. Our God loves us and quietly, gently notes our sin, assures us of His forgiveness, and then points us in the direction that we should go.

    What To Do When The Brook Dries Up

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 458 views

    Somehow, we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale. That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then then you live happily ever after! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth.

    It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in? • What family a person belongs to? NO ONE IS EXEMPT FROM THE SORROWS OF LIFE. Why is it important that we realize that!!! Illus: It is important because it makes me think of a young lady that was dating a ...read more

     | 1,098 views

    The drying of the brook is never the end for a child of God. It’s a divine invitation to trust God for something greater.

    Many times it’s difficult to stand up for God... especially when it comes to the matter of our giving. (Offering was taken after sermon and the offering increased significantly over the Sunday before)

    OPEN: The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to, after the worship service, ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had ...read more

    This is a message that has to do with following God by faith even if it doesn’t make sense in our flawed earthly sense of thinking.

    When God Doesn’t Make Sense I Kings 17:1-16 I. Go Where God Says Go (v. 1, 3-9) A. Be faithful where God has planted you (v. 1) 1. Be faithful to God when it is popular 2.

    Trust The Lord To Provide

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2005

     | 7,979 views

    Is "Providence" more than a city in Rhode Island?

    “Provide.” “Provision.” “Providence.” Even in English the ancient roots of those words can be seen. “Pro” in Latin meant “ahead.” And “video,” meant “to see.” Someone who is a provider “looks ahead” and “sees” what will be needed. The implication then of course is that the person makes plans ...read more

     | 5,221 views

    This preacher had but one church member in Chapter 17 who believed in him, but it was enough encouragement to give Elijah the boldness to call down fire from Heaven in Chapter 18!

    “Making a Big Deal out of a Widow Woman” How God provided for Elijah... God could no longer bless the nation of Israel. Elijah was instructed by God to go to wicked King Ahab and his notorious wife, Jezebel, that a famine was coming. This famine would effect all of the people of Israel including ...read more
