The Church As A Kingdom Revealing Church Series

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jan 4, 2019

Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is at hand". What does that mean? To have a Kingdom you must have a King! This sermon shows Elijah, living in faith of that Kingdom, and in recognizing that trusting in the supernatural rather than the natural.

THE ELIJAH CHURCH IS A KINGDOM REVEALING CHURCH INTRO: This is part of a series using the life of Elijah as a picture of the last day Church.

The Faithfulness Of God

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 16, 2021

This Sunday we’ll be looking at “The Faithfulness of God” from the book of Hosea, because God’s faithfulness is not only a reoccurring theme found throughout Hosea’s story, but one that is found throughout God’s word.

The Faithfulness of God The Book of Hosea Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU5rkpSe22Y Today we’ll be looking at the faithfulness of God. And to do so we’ll be looking at the Old Testament book of Hosea. But before we turn there, would you please turn in your Bibles to 2 Kings 17. If ...read more

What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017

This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more

Revivalist-In-Training

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 4, 2023

What Jesus did in the gospels should be seen in the Church today, but it's not. A revivalist is a person who restores what is unused. But it starts with recognizing where we are in our walk with Jesus.

Good evening. My name is Barry, and I am a revivalist-in-training. Now, let me explain what I mean. Webster’s dictionary gives two basic meanings for the word revival and the one that, in my view, reflects what I believe the Bible teaches is “restoration of force, validity, or effect (as to a ...read more

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.

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

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.

Saturday of the 2nd Week in Advent Recently it was time for me to prune a couple of grapevines growing in our garden. We don’t actually harvest the fruit; they provide attractive foliage on our two arbors and give the birds something to eat. The psalmist speaks of God’s people, Israel, as His ...read more

When God Turns On The Light

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 14, 2025

Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath shows how God uses seasons of loss and exposure to bring healing and faith. When God turns on the light, it isn’t to shame us, but to lead us to confession, forgiveness, and life.

When God Turns on the Light GM. Elijah may almost seem like a superhero when you read through some of the events in his life: He’s the prophet who calls down fire from heaven a number of times, most famously in the Battle on Mt Carmel with the Prophets of Baal. At the end of his life, he ascends ...read more

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

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 27, 2024

Jesus as the prophet like Moses (Deut. 18:18) is more important to Luke than most modern Christians. But Jesus as a prophet, sent by God, speaking God's words, is key to Luke-Acts. A narrative reading.

One of the kind of delightful things about the Bible, if you are a bit of a nerd, is the way that it echoes. Newer parts of the Bible-- the later biblical authors-- will often find themselves describing their own situations in ways that deliberately echo older biblical language. Or, that language ...read more
