    In the showdown on Mt. Carmel, God demonstrates that he is the one true God who is worthy of our attention.

    Last week we started a sermon series entitled: “Seer Wars”. The purpose of this Star Wars take-off is to show that God combats the forces of evil today as he did in the prophet Elijah’s day some 2800 years ago. In Episode I: The Phantom Menace, we saw God try to turn King Ahab away from the worship ...read more

When we find our faith lacking our spirits weary, when we just can’t go on anymore and want to give up! Why does this happen? How do we return the victorious life?

    "Recognize God's Power In Your Life”

    Through one of his many miracles Elijah leads the widow of Zarephath to trust the Word that he speaks as the LORD’s prophet.

    “What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you?” Time and time again the Jews asked Jesus to perform miracles as a sign of his power and as proof of his claims. They implied that they would put their faith in him if he did a miracle at their request. But to those who ...read more

    How does God deal with our cries of anguish? He patiently listens and then gives us what we need.

    “Lord, I can’t go on. My life is pointless. Please, just take it from me.” The prayer of someone in the midst of chemotherapy? Perhaps. The cry of an adolescent who doesn’t feel she fits in? Maybe. The plea of God’s champion prophet? Surprisingly. Last week in Episode II of our sermon series “Seer ...read more

    Trust The Lord To Provide

    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

    God teaches us that his way of winning hearts through his Word is the only way.

    $20,000. That’s how much our congregation spent last year (not including pastor’s salary) on outreach both here and through our synod. What did that $20,000 accomplish? Well we didn’t grow as a congregation, and our synod’s membership actually declined. Was that $20,000 wasted? Is sharing God’s ...read more

    When we are most discouraged, we need all the more to pray, because it is the time we needed Him most. God is faithful and will come to our aid, and very often providing us with both our present and future needs.

    Elijah’s words to Israel are the same words that I have to speak to the church today. How long will you halt between two opinions? It’s time to get the right opinion and serve the Lord.

    WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? By Pastor Jim May One of the greatest prophets who ever lived was Elijah. Here was a real man of God. Not much is known of Elijah’s family roots. We know that he came from the land of the Tishbite’s in Gilead, which was a wild mountainous land bordering on Arabia. Some ...read more

    This sermon is about listening to the voice of God foillowing a national tragedy or disaster such as a Tsunamii.

    Illustration: Someone sent me an e-mail this week entitled "Thanks for your e-mails in 2004". It wasn’t really in response to my e-mails, but deals with the volumes of e-mails that are passed from person to person. Here’s what the thank you letter says: (4) "Thanks to everyone who sent me such ...read more
