     | 27,175 views

    Here is a message that is challenging us to get to place that God wants us to be there, because there is where the provision is...

    Are we there yet? I Kings 17: 1 I would like to thank God for choosing to use me as a vessel this morning. I would also like to thank our founders and my Pastors Pastor Sonny and Sis Julie for this opportunity. I also want to thank my sending Pastors Pastor Al and Sis Georgina for their ...read more

    I Kings 17 is a litany of the events that shaped and prepared Elijah for his greatest challenge (facing the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel). How did God use these circumstances to train Elijah... and how does God use events in our lives to train us?

    This sermon is the kickoff for our Evangelism Campaign. We look at compassion as being at the center of us reaching out to win others to Christ.

    Faith Requires A Risk 2/9/15 1 Kings 17:7-24 John 9:35-38 The amazing thing about God is that when God wants to do something, God can use anybody to impact others for the kingdom of God.

    THE VANISHING BROOK I KINGS 17:1-9a 17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” 2 The word of the Lord came to ...read more

    It was necessary that the widow abandon her last resources by faith before the Living God would assume full responsibility and full control over her situation. The same is true of us. We must surrender all to gain Jesus!

    GIVE OF YOUR FLOUR & OIL – OR DIE! 1 Kgs. 17:7-17, 22-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE FEMINIST 1. A young woman was attending Wellesley College in Maine, a school that is steeped in the feminist movement and agenda. 2.

    We pick up with our man Elijah leaving the brook Cherith because it dried up. The ravens quit bringing him food and the famine has caught up with the creek that God had parked Elijah beside.

    You can determine to pay the price no matter how high the cost seems to be. Far too often we cry out to the Lord to deliver us out of the test that He intends to walk us through it.

    2 Zarephath was quite a distance from Cherith. • It was eight miles south of Zidon. • It was thirteen miles north of Tyre. • It was eighty miles north of Samaria. • All summed up it was about one hundred miles for Elijah to travel. a He had to walk it out. Twenty miles ...read more

     | 8,331 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

    Putting Faith To The Test

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 3, 2016

    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

     | 5,459 views

    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
