    Injustice and Scandal When we read the story of Elijah, the prophet, we come across two really disgusting people, rulers of the breakaway kingdom of Israel. They are Ahab the king and Jezebel his wife. The history tells us that “Ahab ben Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all that ...read more

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Matthew 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

We can express our deepest longings, fears, joys, and hopes through prayer, seek God's guidance and help and intercede for others. However, sometimes it seems God is not answering ...read more
