    Contributed by Lynn Malone on May 30, 2016
     | 8,335 views

    This sermon explores Elijah's interactions with the widow of Zarephath, and we learn that God never abandons us, faith requires obedience, and to receive a blessing I must be a blessing. Faith was the key to Elijah's ministry.

    Hebrews 11 has been called God’s “Hall of Faith.” Like the Hall of Fame in sports or other arenas of life, Hebrews 11 gives us the names and tells us, if ever so briefly, what God’s people accomplished “by faith.” We hear such profound accomplishments ...read more

    Are you willing to go where God sends you and speak and act in his name? It all boils down to a matter of trust.

    Have you ever had an occasion where you thought that your faith was being tested, especially in unusual circumstances? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes God uses unusual circumstances to test a person’s faith. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-24 he told Elijah to go to an unlikely ...read more

    A lot of Christian don’t like giving. Just like me, I do give to people if I have and I give my offering in church but I find it difficult paying my tithe

    I have realised that the principle of giving is a powerful spiritual law that is guaranteed!  Giving encompasses the following: 1. Giving tithes and offering 2. Giving to the needy 3. Giving to genuine pastors and ministers  4. Giving to widows and the elderly 5. Give to whoever God is leading ...read more

    Elijah asks a widow woman that is about to die for the last little piece of cake she has. What she does will determin if she lives or dies. What would you do?

    We can depend on God. God's work, done in God's way, will never lack God's supply.

    The prophet of God has just pronounced a drought, sent by God although not mentioned. • The drought will end only at his word – which means at God’s bidding, when God said so. • We know that it lasted for 3.5 years because of two accounts in NT: • James 5:17 - Elijah was a human being, even as we ...read more

     | 29,844 views

    In many cultures widows are never considered as strong, successful and influential women but God gives great honour to many widows in The Bible as they teach all humanity the deeper lessons of life by their simple acts of faith in God Almighty.

    ** INTRODUCTION ** The bible has many stories about widows: The widows oil of Zarephath - 1 kings 17:1-24 The widows offering – Mark 12:41-44 The widow of Nain - Luke 7:11-17 Jesus raises a widow’s son. Not sure why these ladies names were not given. But some were given the names of their ...read more

    We all have a tendency to focus on what we do not have and hence what we cannot do. But the God who gave us life knows what we do not have. He is interested in what we do with what we have. Can we turn our attention to that?

    We all have heard about the prosperity gospel and none of us sitting here actually like it. Well mostly. I might want to take a look at it if I can get my hands on that BMW next week, because of something the prosperity gospel promises. Right? Jokes apart, we do realise that prosperity gospel is a ...read more
