    Elijah’s words to Israel are the same words that I have to speak to the church today. How long will you halt between two opinions? It’s time to get the right opinion and serve the Lord.

    WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? By Pastor Jim May One of the greatest prophets who ever lived was Elijah. Here was a real man of God. Not much is known of Elijah’s family roots. We know that he came from the land of the Tishbite’s in Gilead, which was a wild mountainous land bordering on Arabia. Some ...read more

    In the showdown on Mt. Carmel, God demonstrates that he is the one true God who is worthy of our attention.

    Last week we started a sermon series entitled: “Seer Wars”. The purpose of this Star Wars take-off is to show that God combats the forces of evil today as he did in the prophet Elijah’s day some 2800 years ago. In Episode I: The Phantom Menace, we saw God try to turn King Ahab away from the worship ...read more

    God uses ordinary men to do extraordinary things.

    This morning we saw how God uses ordinary people with ordinary jobs to do extraordinary things for God. But tonight I want to connect the two pictures and people. In verse one the Lord speaks to Elijah to go back to Ahab and say the drought will end. In verse 3-4 Obadiah is asked to go with Ahab to ...read more

    Avilable Power Of God

     | 4,372 views

    The same power God demonstrated in the accounts of the Old Testament is available for each and every Christian today.

    I often think that because the historical accounts of God’s power in the Old Testament were so amazing, that we think things like that can’t happen today. Can you imagine watching the Red Sea part, or blowing trumpets causing a stone city to fall down or even witnessing time moving backwards? I ...read more

    God will get our attention and force us to make choices, despite our desire to avoid decisions or our wish to be secular. When the lightning strikes it may be painful but it will be about grace.

    You can most certainly expect God to attract your attention. I cannot tell you exactly how He will do it, but I do know that He will do it. He will attract your attention. Many of us face a spiritual issue called inattention. Distraction. Inattention. We are not paying attention to what God is ...read more
