    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,102 views

    In this passage we look at three different attitudes to life 1.That of Naboth 2.That of Jezebel and 3.That of Ahab Which most nearly describes yours?

    Sermon: Naboth’s Vineyard – You can’t buy integrity Story: A young man went on a week’s silent retreat. Midway through the week, in the early afternoon on the Wednesday, he was feeling hungry and so decided to sneak down to the shops when he thought no one was looking Unfortunately as he ...read more

    Power Abuse & Half Truths

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Jun 21, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,467 views

    The story of an honest man, Naboth, killed as a result of an abuse of power and perhaps, because of a king... Ahab ... telling half truths. It also warns of the potential of abuse of power/influence by Christians.

    This is one story of several that trace the confrontation between the prophet Elijah and king Ahab. Ahab is usually a pretty bad guy. These stories have there origins in chapter 17. There, Elijah seems to burst on the scene from out of nowhere, and curses a drought into existence in the presence ...read more

    The Last Straw Series

     | 7,486 views

    Ahab goes one step too fr and God decides to act in judgement of him and Jezebel. Yet even then God's mercy is to the fore.

    Reading through the story of Ahab and Jezebel, I occasionally feel a bit sorry for Ahab. He gets a glimpse every now and then of what’s the right thing to do. You feel like he’d really like to do the right thing, but he’s made so many bad decisions in the past that he just ...read more

    When God's Patience Runs Out Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 6, 2012

     | 20,181 views

    In this part of the story of Elijah, God sends him to tell Ahab that God's patience had run out with the king and his wife. God has great compassion and patience, but He is also just and His patience does run out.

    Introduction: A. I like the story told about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots. 1. She pulled and he pushed, but the boots still didn’t want to go on. 2. When the second boot was finally on, she had worked up a sweat. 3. She almost whimpered when ...read more

    One man's brave stand against those who would rob him of his inheritance.

    THE THEFT OF A VINEYARD. 1 Kings 21:1-21. Some of us have had the privilege of living in a land where, on paper at least, there was no trespass law. Whether this was because ‘the land belongs to the LORD’ is doubtful - surely no land can share today in the special status of ancient Israel? Yet ...read more

    I don’t want to be too hard on Jezebel this morning, so let me tell you that she was born with some great abilities and qualities. However, she elected to use them in the wrong fashion.

    TITLE: THE ROOSTER MAY CROW BUT THE HEN DELIVERS THE GOODS SCRIPTURE: I KINGS 21:25 I must admit to you this morning that preaching a sermon on Mother’s Day with Jezebel anywhere in the topic may not seem like a wise idea. Mothers are revered – Mother’s are respected - ...read more

    Prophecy And Grace

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 12, 2015
     | 4,271 views

    We as Christians know that all people are responsible to God for their actions. God is the final King over this earth, and he holds all of us accountable for our actions.

    The story in 1 Kings 21:17-29 is the aftermath of King Ahab’ theft of Naboth’s vineyard by murder. It is a story of prophecy and grace. Ahab died in battle shortly after the events in this story, and dogs licked his blood at the pool in Samaria. Believers have the courage not to take ...read more

    Dealing with life's injustices in a broken world...yet trusting the One who will make things right, because in Christ He has experienced injustice.

    Life is frequently unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Brutality and injustice are all around us. And we scratch our heads and wonder “Why?” God’s purpose is beyond us; His ways are above our ways. He causes all things to work together for good, but not all things are ...read more

    Where is the endless mercy and compassion of the God of the Covenant?

    Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Course 2020 For those who knew the promise God made through Moses as the Israelites journeyed through the desert, what was happening to Israel about 870 years before Christ was a great puzzle. God had revealed Himself as One full of tender mercy and compassion to ...read more

    Injustice And Scandal

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 17, 2019
     | 3,079 views

    We must always turn our backs on injustice. When we support it, we encourage innocent people to become guilty.

    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

    Elijah's Crisis

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Dec 1, 2020
     | 8,300 views

    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

    "depression (Part 1): Understanding The Symptoms, Effects, Cauising Factors, And Cases In The Bible" Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 11, 2021
     | 4,519 views

    Depression affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. It is affecting more than 264 million people, Christians and non-Christians alike. This sermon talks about symptoms and factors that cause depression and what the Bible says about it.

    Last Sunday, we learned about grief. Today and next week, we will learn about depression. Depression is different from sadness or grief. The death of a loved one, loss of a job, or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. But being sad is not the same as having ...read more

    Unanswered Prayer (Part 3) Series

     | 2,032 views

    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.

    Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life and an excellent means of communication with our Heavenly Father. 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
