    Sleep In Heavenly Peace

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2021
     | 5,192 views

    I read an article where the writer posed a question: "what keeps you up at night?" It's too early to think about Christmas songs but I thought, 'what better sleep could there be than to sleep in heavenly peace?' Let's see how.

    SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE There are times when it's hard to get to sleep. It can be because we had caffeine too late in the day or we had a snack too close to bedtime and now we're paying for it. Then there are other reasons-you have a deadline to meet and you're not ready. You have an ...read more

    Elijah's Question For Pagan America

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 24, 2021
     | 2,499 views

    Just as the prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make up their minds as whether to serve God or Ba'al, the same question needs to be brought before America today. The time has come to settle the issue and accept the consequences.

    This nation is at the edge of the cliff. All it will take is one more step to go over, regulating America to the dustbin of history. For over sixty years since prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public schools by a poor interpretation of the First Amendment by a liberal Supreme Court ...read more

    Necessity & Intensity Of Prayers That Brings Outstanding Miracles

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Aug 28, 2021
     | 3,233 views

    Reading 1 Kings chapter 18, we see the necessity and intensity of prayer that brings about outstanding miracles and solutions.

    A. It is prayer that activates the fulfilment of God’s promises: The title of this message includes the word ‘necessity’ because: ? Although God had promised rain in 1 Kings 18:1 that He would send rain, Elijah still needed to pray before the fire fell and before the rain came. ? Although the ...read more

    Revival Fires!

    I guess you heard about the two fellows out on a hot sunny day. One of them complained, "I am hot, let's find a place to cool off." The other one said, "Yea, me too! Where do you want to go?"

    The grumbler said, "Well, the coldest place I know of is the church down the street, let's go there..." Now, that has been told as a joke on many occasions, but all the humor is drained from it, because it is the truth in many cases. Beloved, God never meant for His church to be a ...read more

    The same God that heard and answered Elijah's prayers, the same God that brought the rain, is the same God that is with us today. What a marvelous joy the foundation before us upon which we can rebuild the altars in our heart, that He is with us every step of the way.

    Is Religion Good for Society? When preparing this message, I came across a survey conducted by the NCLS (or National Church Life Survey) that was released in November 2019. This survey has been conducted among 20 different denominations every five years since 1991, and surveys several thousand ...read more

    We live in a land of “creature worshippers”.

    The Double Minded Christian

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 12, 2022
     | 6,525 views

    A double minded Christian is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world. They live more by sight and less by faith. They are neither hot or cold, just lukewarm.

    TEXT: James 1:5-8 (NLT) "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown ...read more

    This sermon focuses on Elijah's challenge to the 450 Prophets of Baal and the application to Christians who are wavering in their faith when it comes to facing the various Baals of culture.

    Up Goes The Moisture, Down Comes The Rain

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2021
     | 4,674 views

    The Holy Spirit, and revival, have similarities to the processes of rainfall. Just as moisture must evaporate up before rain, so prayers & praise must go up. When heaven reaches the saturation point, you can expect rain!

    These Are The Days Of Elijah

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 20, 2021

     | 5,502 views

    Jesus seems to speak about two comings of Elijah, one that lies in the future “to restore all things” and another in their immediate past concerning John the Baptist, who would call the nation to repentance. Those days are here again!

    1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1Ki 18:17 ¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, ...read more

    What Causes A Person To Compromise?

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Mar 12, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,523 views

    Elijah had it right. He defined compromise for us in a biblical fashion – to be divided in opinion, and action. To compromise on belief is to compromise on relationship. This morning I would like to address four causes of personal compromise. Then ton

    WHAT CAUSES A PERSON TO COMPROMISE? 1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.

    Things That Make Christians Different From The World: Prayer

     | 5,045 views

    Prayer is critical and vital to a Christian's life. We pray to our God, the God of the Bible but the world "prays" to false Gods and idols. There are clear differences between how Christians pray and how the world prays. Christians need to highlight these

    In this lesson, we see Elijah stand all alone against the prophets of Baal and Asherah. We learn many things from Elijah's example, including the difference one person can make.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a man who was solo skydiving for the very first time. 1. He had taken all the lessons and now it was time for his first solo jump. 2.
