    This sermon focuses on Elijah's challenge to the 450 Prophets of Baal and the application to Christians who are wavering in their faith when it comes to facing the various Baals of culture.

    Good morning. I hope you all had a great Easter. I know we did. Today, we are going to continue the series that we call The Story. As you know, the story we are talking about is God’s story that is found in the complete story of the Bible in the people, places, and events of the Bible. Where ...read more

    Effectual Fervent Prayer

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 2,888 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

    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

    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.

    The Memorial That Disappeared Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 11, 2021
     | 5,422 views

    The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal is a classic. What we sometimes forget is that a memorial, an altar to the LORD, was already there before Elijah came! The rest of the story is gripping!

    Introduction: The days of Elijah were some of the best and some of the worst in Israel’s history. One of the highest points took place when God responded to Elijah’s prayer in a way that nobody could deny. Not only did this take place in the presence of pagan prophets, the event also took place ...read more

    A Chronicle Of Courage Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016
     | 7,415 views

    It takes courage to move in the will of God. Elijah's faith brought the courage necessary to face the evil of his day. We learns lessons for our own day from Elijah's experience with King Ahab.

    When last we encountered our hero, Elijah, he was performing miracles for a widow and her son in Zarephath. Here’s an interesting note I need to make as we begin because today we’ll see another miracle Elijah performs. There are basically three clusters of miracles in the bible. ...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

    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

     | 2,960 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

    To have an opinion is to have a viewpoint; to have a belief about something. A person's opinion can be based on their feelings, what they've been taught, what the people they admire say, etc. But are they true? Should opinions matter when it comes to God's word?
