    The great spiritual showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. Elijah reveals that there is no God but Jehovah. Elijah reveals the steps to a "fire from Heaven" Revival.

    FIRE FROM HEAVEN I KINGS 18 Intro: The burning question. I kings 18:21 Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” The question is still relevant today. Throughout the ages ...read more

    The Wood's Never Too Wet For Revival

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 22, 2016
     | 10,306 views

    This is a rewrite of Jeffrey Sims’ message of the same title. The pouring of water on the wood not only helped confirm to the spectators the miraculous nature of the fire, but it symbolized the impossibly of revival taking place.

    THE WOOD’S NEVER TOO WET FOR REVIVAL 1 Kgs 18:21-39 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HOW TO GET ATTENTION 1. George Phillips of Mississippi, was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed.

    Altars in the Old Testament were geographical places built to worship God. Altars today are spiritual places within people. This sermon looks at the significance of rebuilding the altars of our hearts and the blessing it brings.

    THE ELIZAH CHURCH IS AN ALTAR BUILDING CHURCH INTRO: This is part of a series using the life of Elijah as a picture of the last day Church. It is also a stand alone sermon. 1 Kings 18:16-40 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he said to ...read more

    Elijah's Crisis

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Dec 1, 2020
     | 8,464 views

    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
     | 3,642 views

    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

    Team God

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,957 views

    Elijah (meaning “My God is Yahweh”) challenges the 450 prophets of baal (and other prophets) in a “my God, your gods face-off". Like Elijah, teaming up with God when facing battles in life will be a win-win situation.

    STORY PRELUDE Elijah confronts King Ahab and challenges baal. He sets the basic rule of the face-off, that is to use woods and a bull to be consumed by their gods as they call them. Though he seems alone, Elijah is on the offense. In his turn to call his God, he prepares the Lord’s altar using ...read more

    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 ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,498 views

    God does not share His glory. He alone is to be worshipped, revered, and honored as King and God. The fall of the nation of Israel is a grim reminder of how deeply idolatry offends God. He both exposed and judged their sin.

    Our prayers are often ineffective. Scripture reveals principles of effective prayer, principles we will want to observe.

    A movie by the title of The In-Laws came out in 1979. There was a re-make of it in 2003, but my favorite version is still the original one.

    American Idols July 4 Sermon

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 3,103 views

    America has become the land of idolatry. But before I make that claim, I need to make sure that I have the right definition of idolatry.

    Illus: Dr. Billy Graham says, "We usually think of an idol as a religious figure carved of wood or stone, perhaps in some primitive tribe far removed from civilization. But we have our "idols" today, because an idol is anything that you worship in place of the living God. Some ...read more

    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 Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Elijah. (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint Available)

    Legend has it that Satan once had an auction. He auctioned off all the weapons he possessed except one, it was the tool of discouragement.

    He was asked why he refused to auction off the tool of discouragement. His answer we are told was simple. He said, “With this one tool I can accomplish everything I want to accomplish.” This is the most powerful weapon that Satan has, and he is a master at knowing how to use it skillfully! • ...read more
