    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.

    You may be in the middle of the drought, you may not see any evidence of rain in the sky: But Elijah didn't say he saw, he said he heard: The Sound is your sign (The rain is on the way)

    I hear the sound of the abundance of rain: That means my ear has picked up a signal in the airwaves Sound = vibrations) my ear has picked up the vibration of something that is coming. I can't see it, I can't touch it, I don't feel it but it's on the way. How do I know it's coming this ...read more

    We've all been there and heard those faith destroying words sent from the devil (there is nothing) no money, no love, no hope, but God says in that very same place where you heard those words will come forth an abundance. The rain is on it's way.

    You know the story: Israel is being ruled by a wicked king named Ahab, he has not only led Israel away from God into Idolatry but he has also married a witch named Jezebel. Together they led the children of Israel into deep rebellion and false worship. God raised up a prophet that would not be ...read more

    A sermon that points out the dangers of procrastination.

    "No Man's Land" 1 Kings 18:21 INTRODUCTION: The term "No Man's Land" is most commonly associated with the First World War although the phrase "no man's land" actually dates back until at least the 14th century.

    The decisive, dramatic contest atop Mount Carmel, that compels us to determine who we will serve.

    Elijah has been called “the iron prophet.” After a three-year absence, he appears before Ahab; was he finally going to end the drought? The dry spell was indeed about to end, but first it must be established with no doubt as to who is God. The king accuses the prophet of ...read more

    In our churches today we no longer build altars for sacrifice but our altars still are used for some of the same purposes found in the Bible.

    The Broken Altar I KINGS 18:21-46 Note Here in Vs 30, “And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.” Elijah found the altar was broken and in need of repair. WHAT WAS THE ...read more

    Looking at the faith of Elijah and what might hinder us from recieving God's promises..

    Last week we looked at the story of Elijah. He was sent to King Ahab to inform him that it would not rain until Elijah proclaimed it. So for three years the nation of Israel suffered through a great drought. When Elijah returned he set up a show-down between God and the prophets of Baal. Elijah ...read more

    There is a need for the Fire to fall again--a pure, unprofaned, holy fire from heaven to burn away the sacrifice so that the sweet rain of the Holy Spirit can come pouring down upon this land!

    Let The Fire Fall! INTRO: I want you to see this picture (show picture on screens). This is the world famous fire falls of Yosemite National Park. This spectacular show and amazing feat was cancelled by the park services back in 1968, and has never been seen since. But my mother saw it once before ...read more

    When the Faith ebbs, God raises up a rude prophet to challenge the evil that has insinuated itself into the lives of the people of God.

    “Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come near to me.’ And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that had been thrown down. Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, ‘Israel ...read more

     | 30,948 views

    Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel struggled with it. Repeatedly Israel invited God’s displeasure by their dual allegiance which was and is idolatry.

    Who is Your God? 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. And the people answered him not a word.” - Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel ...read more
