Our service begins at 10:30.” That evangelist’s van was telling people that there was a “decision” to be made. It asked: Where ...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
