    Injustice And Scandal

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 17, 2019
     | 3,124 views

    We must always turn our backs on injustice. When we support it, we encourage innocent people to become guilty.

    Injustice and Scandal When we read the story of Elijah, the prophet, we come across two really disgusting people, rulers of the breakaway kingdom of Israel. They are Ahab the king and Jezebel his wife. The history tells us that “Ahab ben Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all that ...read more

    God's justice is sure. God's mercy is great.

    We read last week in 1 Kings 21 of a great injustice and cruelty. • An innocent man Naboth, who owns a vineyard, was framed and murdered. And according to 2 Kings 9:26 all his sons were killed too. • Queen Jezebel wanted to prevent any future claimants for the land. King Ahab coveted his ...read more

    Prophecy And Grace

    We as Christians know that all people are responsible to God for their actions. God is the final King over this earth, and he holds all of us accountable for our actions.

    The story in 1 Kings 21:17-29 is the aftermath of King Ahab’ theft of Naboth’s vineyard by murder. It is a story of prophecy and grace. Ahab died in battle shortly after the events in this story, and dogs licked his blood at the pool in Samaria. Believers have the courage not to take ...read more

    Dealing with life's injustices in a broken world...yet trusting the One who will make things right, because in Christ He has experienced injustice.

    Life is frequently unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Brutality and injustice are all around us. And we scratch our heads and wonder “Why?” God’s purpose is beyond us; His ways are above our ways. He causes all things to work together for good, but not all things are ...read more

    When God's Patience Runs Out Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,291 views

    In this part of the story of Elijah, God sends him to tell Ahab that God's patience had run out with the king and his wife. God has great compassion and patience, but He is also just and His patience does run out.

    Introduction: A. I like the story told about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots. 1. She pulled and he pushed, but the boots still didn’t want to go on. 2. When the second boot was finally on, she had worked up a sweat. 3. She almost whimpered when ...read more

    Yahweh sent prophets to warn Israel before it was too late. They chose not to listen.

    February 25, 2023 The stories presented in the next 3 sermons are an overlapping history. They tell the story of the gradual decay of both nations until they experienced the full consequences of their rebellion against God. First up ---- ISRAEL. Israel had 20 kings. 19 of them were ...read more

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Matthew 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life and an excellent means of communication with our Heavenly Father. We can express our deepest longings, fears, joys, and hopes through prayer, seek God's guidance and help and intercede for others. However, sometimes it seems God is not answering ...read more

    While God’s judgment seems to be put off and comes slowly, it surely will come.

    A. SETTING: 1 KINGS 21:1-23 1. Why was king Ahab whining? “Go to bed … with his face to the wall and refused to eat? (v. 4). a. Ahab wanted to expand his vegetable garden (v. 2), but Naboth refused to sell to him. Why? b. “The Lord forbid that I give … the inheritance ... from my ancestors” ...read more

    The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

    In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

    The pandemic seems to go on forever. Instead of getting better, Covid is getting worse. Many are becoming discouraged and depressed because of lockdowns and other guidelines that give us limited mobility.

    Note: I developed a simple set of homemade PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. They're not fancy or professional quality, and for this sermon there were only as small number of slides (most of which are maps), but if you're interested in having the PowerPoint file I ...read more

    Ahab was king of the Ten Northern Tribes (Israel) and wanted to purchase a vineyard growing next to his palace, The owner wouldn't sell, so Jezebel (the queen) took matters into her own hands. The results were not pretty.

    Introduction: After Elijah had left Mount Horeb and returned to Israel, he seems to be out of the picture for a while. King Ahab, though, had been very busy with wars against Syria (see 1 Kings 20). After that, Ahab saw a vineyard belonging to someone else but Ahab wanted it anyway. He got it, all ...read more

    When Power Is Abused: God Still Defends The Righteous Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 16, 2025
     | 32 views

    1 Kings 21 is a powerful reminder that no abuse of power escapes the eyes of God. Ahab may have taken Naboth’s vineyard, but he couldn’t take it without consequence.

    WHEN POWER IS ABUSED: GOD STILL DEFENDS THE RIGHTEOUS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 21:1-29 Supporting Texts: Micah 6:8; Isaiah 5:20-23; Proverbs 6:16-19; Psalm 94:20-23; Luke 12:15 INTRODUCTION: 1 Kings 21 records one of the darkest moments in King Ahab’s reign—the unjust seizure ...read more

    Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Course 2020 For those who knew the promise God made through Moses as the Israelites journeyed through the desert, what was happening to Israel about 870 years before Christ was a great puzzle.

    This sermon looks at the spoiled nature of Ahab and contrast that with Naboth who was a man of integrity and priciples.

    In a 2001 Times Magizine cover article entilted, “Power Struggle-whose in charge” and in this article, a vivid example of a somewhat epidemic was given. It reads: Here is a parenting parable for our age. Carla Wagner, 17, of Coral Gables, Fla., spent the afternoon drinking the tequila she ...read more

    Ahab’s provides an example that greed can lead to mistreatment of others and disregard for God’s laws

    One evening last week while our grandchildren were with us, Sue told our 4-year-old granddaughter to go upstairs and tell me that dinner was ready. Her 8-year-old brother overheard the conversation and ran up the stairs ahead of her to tell me. The 4-year-old, still half-way up the stairs, let out ...read more
