    A retired carpenter had a very large workshop full of tools. He thought to himself what he was going to do with these tools.

    He decided to have an auction. He hired a auctioneer to come into his shop to take an inventory of all his valuable tools. He told the auctioneer everything is up for auction except one tool. He walked over to his work table and picked up a hammer he had since he was a young man. He said ...read more

    What Are You Doing Here?

    In a season of depression the man of God finds a cave on the mountain side. In his hurt and pain he searches for a touch of God. God was not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire. Elijah found God in a still small voice.

    WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) WELL. I’M TIRED AND SO WEARY, BUT I MUST GO ALONG; TILL THE LORD COMES AND CALLS ME AWAY, WELL THE MORNING IS SO BRIGHT, AND THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT, AND THE NIGHT, THE NIGHT IS AS FAIR AS THE ...read more

    Elijah's Crisis

    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
     | 3,641 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
     | 2,951 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

    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

    The Memorial That Disappeared Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 11, 2021
     | 5,413 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

    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)

    Necessity & Intensity Of Prayers That Brings Outstanding Miracles

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Aug 28, 2021
     | 3,225 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

    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. This survey has been conducted among 20 different denominations every five years since 1991, and surveys several thousand ...read more

    The world is in a very critical time right now. How are we to deal with the proliferation of perversion and pornography? Can you hear the voice of God through all of it? Are you living in divine revelation from God and the Anointing of the Holy Spirit?

    Here in the USA, we stand in the balance of righteousness and holiness before God. We are still amid a global pandemic that has crushed our constitutional and civil rights. Our Federal, City governments, and schools are on the brink of disaster because demonic principalities of deviant, perverted ...read more

    The Day of Pentecost - The Secret Place - Intimacy - Rebuilding Altars - Issues of the Heart - The Fire of God

    PART 2 Why did Elijah move in miraculous power yet suddenly be filled with fear? It is because He did not have the Holy Spirit living within Him as those who are Born-Again. The difference between the Old and New Testament ministries of the Holy Spirit is that, before the Day of Pentecost, His ...read more
