     | 8,075 views

    Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. Used as an example of the LORD lighting the fire - what we want Him to do in us so we can be like Jeremiah in Jeremiah 20:9b.

    “Light the Fire” Text: Jeremiah 20:7-13 I. Welcome II. Introduction As we think about our theme for this year, the LORD wants us to be on fire for Him. Sometimes when a child, student or worker is not putting forth the effort they should, we make the statement that we need to light a ...read more

    Characteristics of Elijah's ministry; 5 lessons from God's "School of Faith"

    READ 1 KINGS 18:7-15 “Elijah the Tishbite of the inhabitants of Gilead;” this is literally all that we know about his parentage and locality. That’s remarkable considering we know about the genealogies of other prophets and leaders of Israel. Even the term “Tishbite” ...read more

    BECAUSE WE ARE ENGAGE IN SUPER BOWL GAME CALL LIFE AND I NEED TO PAUSE AND DROP SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND AND THAT IS THAT IF YOU DON`T KNOW JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE YOU`RE LOSING THE GAME

    1 Kings 18:21-24 (KJV) 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. [22] Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; ...read more

    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.

    Prevarication is not an option!

    THE CONTEST ON MOUNT CARMEL. 1 Kings 18:20-39. The prophet Elijah is nothing if not bold in his confrontation with King Ahab. The king accused Elijah of being “he that troubles Israel” (1 Kings 18:17). The prophet’s retort was rather to accuse Ahab and his family of troubling Israel, as they had ...read more

    But The People Were Silent

     | 9,489 views

    The people of God must never keep silent in the midst of attack on the message of the gospel. Elijah took a stand even in a hostile and homicidal environment. The people had so much compromised that they could not choose for Jehovah God.

    BUT THE PEOPLE WERE SILENT 1 Kings 18:17-39 17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 18 And Elijah answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou ...read more

    Elijah asked the question which needs to be asked of God's people today..."How long will you sit on the fence?"

    HOW LONG 1 Kings 18:21 • The first message today is the first message of the church. “Jesus saves.” The second is likened unto the first, “Jesus and Jesus ONLY – SAVES.” The Bible records the very words of our Lord Jesus (John 3:16 & John 14:6). What does ...read more

    One of God's promises that gives us great hope is that our prayers have power. Our God promises to hear and answer our prayers.

    A. One day three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman worked nearby. 1. One of the preachers said, “Kneeling is definitely best and most effective position for prayer.” 2. “Not so,” another preacher contended, “I get the best results in prayer by ...read more

    The Neutrals Series

    Is there a neutral ground when it comes to matters of religion? Is it possible for one to consider themselves as a non-aligned? Can you take the middle ground? Can you sit on the fence? In short, can you be neither on God's side nor the devil’s side? Let us get our answers from the sermon.

    Switzerland has not participated in any foreign war ever since 1815 when it established itself as a neutral country. A neutral country is defined as a state which does not take sides of belligerents (warring parties) in a specific war or future conflicts. Such states refuse to even enter into ...read more

    The pandemic seems to go on forever. Instead of getting better, Covid is getting worse. Many are becoming discouraged and depressed because of lockdowns and other guidelines that give us limited mobility.

    Note: I developed a simple set of homemade PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. They're not fancy or professional quality, and for this sermon there were only as small number of slides (most of which are maps), but if you're interested in having the PowerPoint file I ...read more

    In This Manner Pray

    Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 27, 2020

    How we pray depends on our concept of God. God is personal, and knows us better than we know ourselves. Prayer brings us into harmony with God.

    INTRODUCTION When I was in college, I was required to take speech class. As a shy person, I dreaded it. It’s all about public speaking. Some would rather die than speak in public. To pass the class, we had to give a 5-minute speech to our classmates. Here are some pointers for giving a ...read more

    “How long will you waver between two opinions?” We need revival! Every kind of problem and disaster has happened to the USA. Have we repented yet? Do we still hesitate to surrender all to Christ? "If Jehovah is God, then serve Him!"

    IF GOD IS GOD, THEN SERVE HIM! 1 Kgs 18:21-29, 36-39 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Watch your CHOICE OF WORDS 1. A doctor was called and asked to visit a sick home-bound man way out in the country.

    New Testament Legalism Series

     | 3,361 views

    Message expounds Philippians 3:1-7 explaining the problem of Legalism as defined by the New Testament. The ceremonial law in the Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ and is not required of believers. The moral law is reiterated in the New Covenant.

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is Philippians 3:1-7. Last week we talked from that text about the value of warnings. God warns us because He loves us. Like a loving parent He guides us away from danger into a meaningful life of blessings. To despise God’s warnings is one of the ...read more

    It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 43,459 views

    I continue messages on our trip to Israel. Last time we looked at Jeremiah who suffered for preaching the Word. Today the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and erected an altar in Gilgal about 3 miles from Jericho. Elijah did the same at Mt. Carmel where we visited. What makes an altar important?

    IT IS TIME TO REPAIR ALL BROKEN ALTARS 1. Joshua 4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of ...read more
