    Elijah The Prophet Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 4, 2010
     | 7,400 views

    Elijah comes as God's representative to call his people back to God. He is a type of Christ

    By Rev Bill Stewart In the church we often use outdated language or terms that are not generally used by other people. We sometimes talk about God as "sovereign" and often speak about the "sovereignty of God." My dictionary (The Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus) defines a "sovereign" as "a person ...read more

    God uses suffering to turn lost hearts to Him.

    “From Suffering to Surrender” In 1 Kings 17:8-24, God sent Elijah to Zarephath, the heart of Baal worship. Though it was behind enemy lines, Elijah promptly arose and went. He was obedient regardless of his lack of understanding. Complete knowledge is no prerequisite to obedience. God ...read more

    Elijah met the Widow of Zarephath just as she was preparing to eat her last supper. It's a wonderful story of God's provision if we would only learn to trust him.

    Getting Ready for the Last Supper Sunday, March 13, 2011 PM By Pastor James May If there’s one prophet of the Old Testament that I love reading about it has to be Elijah. Here was a real man of faith and of power; at least most of the time. Like all the rest of us, Elijah had a few ups ...read more

    For this widow woman it looked like all would fail. In fact she and her son were about to eat their final meal. She was at the bottom of her barrel. This morning someone feels they are at that place. But I have good news for you in what God brought to m

    Any miracle will always be preceded by the Word Of God being applied or interjected into the situation.

    We can have meetings in this building but if we want to have life changing church we must pray for the presents of the Holy Ghost!

    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

    A Chronicle Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on May 30, 2016
     | 8,371 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
     | 9,492 views

    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

    This is part of a series of very brief messages that can be used in church newsletters for stewardship.

    10So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, ‘Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.’ 11As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, ‘Bring me a morsel of ...read more

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

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 2, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 18,113 views

    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

    Following God's instructions into unkown territory becomes the antithesis for faith that pleases Him.

    I want to begin my sermonic presentation by making a clear cut statement that I believe everybody needs to know and believe—and that is God has created everyone of us to live by faith. And as a consequence, every child of God is wired to perform and live by faith. Now what that means is that ...read more
