    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

    This message tells us that God can take care of problems of long standing. He can give us little signs that the answer is on the way and hope in the time of discouragement.

    The Little Cloud in a Great Big Sky I Kings 18:41-46 INTRODUCTION: Elijah was a prophet, a man of God, who was appointed by God to preach and to prophecy in the land. There was a drought for three years. We could relate to his by saying, “there has been a recession in the land for three ...read more

    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

    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

    The Word of God is the solution to get us through our desert situations

    The wise sage King Solomon wrote in his book in Ecclesiastes chapter 3 the idea about life in terms of seasons. He apparently understood that life was a continuous series of seasons. In verse 1 he said, “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose.” The word season ...read more

    First of all, do you remember what Elijah’s name in the Hebrew means? It means “Yahweh is my God.” This prophet’s name very clearly defined his mission, to demonstrate or prove that “Yahweh is, in fact, not only his God but the only true and living God.”

    Elijah Part II "Showdown on the Mountain" 1 Kings 18:1-39 1 And it came to pass after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth." 2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a ...read more

    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

    The people of Israel are standing between two altars during the time of Elijah. We are also facing the same choices today. Different forms but the same spirit. Like the Jews, are you still stuck in the middle?

    There was an alter sacrifice and the prophets of Baal keep chanting "oh, Baal, answer us!" for many hours, but nothing happened. Then, Elijah offered up a short prayer and God consumed the sacrifice. But soon after things took a turn for the worst.

    FROM A WARRIOR PRAYER TO A SORRIER PRAYER (THEN BACK AGAIN) INTRODUCTION: When I went through the Lord's Prayer a couple of weeks ago in regards to Jesus telling us to not pray as the pagans do I mentioned the account of Elijah and the prophets of Baal.

    Up Goes The Moisture, Down Comes The Rain

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2021
     | 4,782 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!

    The Neutrals Series

     | 6,196 views

    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
