     | 9,302 views

    Sermon examines the exercise of faith using examples of Elijah and the widow, and others such as Moses' choice to leave Egypt.

    1 Kings 17:8-16 1-18-15 I want to begin this morning in Romans 10:17 because there are two words in that verse that the Lord spoke to me this week concerning this church, concerning you and me and our future.

    In a world filled with volatility and uncertainty, Christians enjoy assurances that bring peace in the midst of any storm. Message uses Psalm 23 to teach confidence in God and how to use Scripture for prayerful declarations.

    A True Prophet Series

    The prophet Elijah was God’s instrument to test this Gentile widow’s trust. It’s easier to be reminded of God’s promises than to act on them.

    As someone who has moved 27 times in my life, I know that God decides how long we remain in place. I received orders from the Pentagon, but I regarded them as from God. Elijah was directly told when to move. We, on the other hand, do not have supernatural guidance, or access to God’s ...read more

    The Church Beyond The Church Walls Series

    Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Mar 3, 2014
     | 8,238 views

    Our life is a series of "divine appointments" as Christians. While most people think that most ministry is done by "superstars" of the faith or by megachurches, in truth the bulk of Christian work is done by average guys. See https://vimeo.com/88045219 .

    Love God...Love Family...Love The Brotherhood...Love Others! We've been on a journey here at Resurrection for the past two months this being the ninth message in this series, Kindred United.

    Elijah And The Woman With Sticks (A Mothering Sunday Sermon) Series

    God will always find a way to speak to us. Sometimes it's a verse of scripture. Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s His voice we hear. Sometimes He will use a person. For this woman, God brings the prophet Elijah into her life.

    Today is Mothering Sunday and in many places around the world the focus will be on mothers. I think it is fair to say that simply having children does not make a woman a mother. Abraham Lincoln said: No one is poor who has a godly mother Napoleon said, “The future destiny of a child is the work of ...read more

    Elijah (God is the Lord) stood up boldly for God. He proved that God is the one who owns and his in charge of everyone and everything as he encounters a drought, a dry brook, a depleted barrel, and a dead boy.

    God wants us to help those with the fewest of resources, to learn from them and we get blessed.

    32B Fr. John Haughey, S.J., notes that Jesus, who spoke Aramaic, has an interesting word for money: mammon, which means “that in which you put your trust." Some people put their trust in their money, others in their looks, others in their muscles, their brains, their careers, house or ...read more

    Las dos viudas de nuestras lecturas eran pobres de bienes materiales pero habían guardado el tesoro de la piedad y de la fe.

    32B Este día leemos acerca de la ofrenda de la viuda. [Chiste] -Mamá, ¿me das dinero para ese pobre hombre que está gritando como loco? -Y ¿que es lo que está gritando? -Helados, Helados!

    INTRODUCTION: A month ago, our country was hit by a strong typhoon.

    "An Intelligent Notion Of Charity"

    I think Thomas of Villanova is a saint for our times. He possessed what some have called "an intelligent notion of charity," getting at the problem of poverty at its root.

    Thursday of 10th Week in Course 2018 Reformation/Revolution The stories preserved in the first book of Kings about the prophet Elijah are some of the most gripping tales in all literature.

    Something that we all have in common is that we all have to fight the battle of discouragement.

    Most of us will admit that we have lost that battle at times. However, some are more easily discouraged than others. 1. Some get discouraged with their jobs and quit them, only to later regret it. 2. Some get discouraged with their churches and quit them, only to later regret it. 3. Some get ...read more

    Elijah Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Feb 10, 2023
     | 3,441 views

    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.

    February 11, 2023 The bible tells us Elijah was from the town of Tishbe, but we don’t anything about his background or who his parents were. 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

    Unwavering Faith

    Contributed by Mark Lindsey on May 1, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,988 views

    How do we take faith to a different level? Moving faith from simply trusting the unknown to faith as trusting God to provide? Faith is not believing something will happen; faith is believing what God said will happen.

    “UNWAVERING FAITH” 1 KINGS 17:8-16 Faith is part of everyday living. When you are ill, you go to a doctor whose name you cannot pronounce. He gives you a prescription you cannot read. You take it to a pharmacist you have never seen. He gives you medication you do not understand. Yet, you take it. ...read more
