    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 13, 2013
    based on 4 ratings

    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

    It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. The need is apparent...the solution is not. Nothing. How do you live through the nothings?

    Living Through The Nothings Pt. 2 - Rain Man It is one of my least favorite words. Nothing. It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. It contains no ounce of hope. Let me see if I can explain. You work for an hour on your car, you have sweat, blood and tears in the repair ...read more

    Just Like Us (Part Four)

    Last week we looked at Samson. Samson was physically strong but in some ways he was spiritually weak. We, too can be strong in some areas but weak in others. Today, we'll look at Elijah. He was bold and courageous...well, most of the time.

    JUST LIKE US (part four) Last week we looked at the example of Samson. When Samson was born he was given a special Nazirite vow. He couldn't drink alcohol or even grape juice. And he couldn't cut his hair. These conditions were to indicate that he would be noticeably set apart for a ...read more

    Effectual Fervent Prayer

     | 2,886 views

    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. It featured Alan Arkin as a conventional dentist and Peter Falk as a manic character who claims to be a government agent. Their kids are about to be married, ...read more

    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

    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.

    We live in a land of “creature worshippers”.

    For example... Illus: A seventeen-year-old girl made Elvis Presley not just an entertainer, or a mortal. She made him an idol and she literally worshipped him. It is a matter of record that she has seen his movie: • “LOVE ME TENDER” 107 times. • “LOVING YOU” 110 times. • “KING CREOLE” 91 ...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)

    Heroes of the Bible: Elijah Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/29/2021 NOTE: This sermon was adapted from my book, Holy Heroes of the Bible.

    The Age Of Discouragement

     | 1,960 views

    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

    Necessity & Intensity Of Prayers That Brings Outstanding Miracles

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Aug 28, 2021
     | 3,226 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
