    Elijah was a spiritual giant, and yet he had his days of disappointment and discouragement. God gently restores Elijah and, in doing so, we are reminded that God never fails us.

    Losing Faith

    Contributed by Nicky Evans on May 27, 2017
     | 15,568 views

    How does God deal with us during those times we feel we can't go on?

    I want to talk this afternoon about ‘losing faith’. Sometimes, as we go through life, maybe even now, we’ll face a shaking of our faith, a testing so severe our faith is eclipsed, we feel we’re losing it! We feel that our struggles are too deep, Our problems are too difficult, we’ve prayed but ...read more

    Deflating Depression

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 26, 2019

    Even God's great heroes dealt with depression. Rather than beating ourselves up, we get the help we need (especially God's) and move forward to the work He has called us to do.

    1. Most if not all of us have dealt with or are dealing with depression. Touched on it last week with Grief. 2. Causes of Depression • Grief and Loss • Stress • Health problems (poor nutrition, etc.) • Drugs 3. Signs of Depression (You may need to seek professional counsel): • Prolonged ...read more

    The war between faith and struggle is eternal. Adam started the struggle and it continues on. The prophet Elijah was faith veteran but suddenly he had life-threatening. So this man made it or not the call is the description in this sermon.

    Theme: Faith and Struggle Text: 1 Kings 19:1-18 The war between faith and struggle is eternal. Adam started the struggle and it continues on.

    Mountain Climbing Without A Veil Series

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

    Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God. There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more

    Elijah asked to die and God did not even answer him

    “Unanswered Pray When Discouraged” I Kings 19:1-4 11-11-2018AM Who is Elijah? The name Elijah means “Yahweh is my God.” The two words rendered “Tishbite” and “inhabitant” are in the original “exactly alike.” The meaning seems to be “Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbi of Gilead.” Of Tishbi in Gilead ...read more

    God speaks; more so in His Silence.....

    LET SILENCE SPEAK….. In 1 Kings 18 we find Israel in its pits. The people have broken their covenant with the Lord. The altars have been torn down. The Lord’s prophets decimated and Baal elevated as God of Israel by Ahab and Jezebel. It is at this juncture that a prophet of God, a ...read more

    Like Elijah, sometimes we feel utterly defeated (as I did by the shootings in Charleston and Chattanooga) but God remains with us through these times.

    When I left on Sabbatical, I had Charleston on my mind. As I drove to North Carolina, it was on my mind. I tried to avoid newspapers and newscasts, but it was still on my mind. Through much of the Wild Goose Festival, we talked openly about violence and “isms.” I wasn’t home ...read more

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 5,835 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more

    Avoiding The Syndrome Brought On By The Pandemic

    Trouble came upon Elijah suddenly and unexpectedly, when he promised to himself peace and prosperity, because He had obeyed God. But Trouble came. Elijah runs until he is completely exhausted. Exhaustion opens the door of discouragement. The pandemic did all the above!

    Avoiding the Syndrome Brought on by the Pandemic Introduction: A fifty-five-year-old woman threw herself from her fourteenth-floor apartment to the ground below. Minutes before her death, she saw a workman washing the windows of a nearby building. She greeted him and smiled, and he smiled and said ...read more
