    What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017

     | 14,058 views

    This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

    At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more

    In a crisis, we trust God's greater purpose and seek God's perfect will.

    We saw how the Lord provided for Elijah in the drought, first at the brook and then at the widow’s home in Zarephath. • By doing that, God also saved the widow and her son from death, and sustained all three of them for the duration of the famine. • Miraculously the supply of flour and oil did not ...read more

    In many cultures widows are never considered as strong, successful and influential women but God gives great honour to many widows in The Bible as they teach all humanity the deeper lessons of life by their simple acts of faith in God Almighty.

    ** INTRODUCTION ** The bible has many stories about widows: The widows oil of Zarephath - 1 kings 17:1-24 The widows offering – Mark 12:41-44 The widow of Nain - Luke 7:11-17 Jesus raises a widow’s son. Not sure why these ladies names were not given. But some were given the names of their ...read more

    “give Of Your Flour & Oil – Or Die!”

     | 17,437 views

    It was necessary that the widow abandon her last resources by faith before the Living God would assume full responsibility and full control over her situation. The same is true of us. We must surrender all to gain Jesus!

    GIVE OF YOUR FLOUR & OIL – OR DIE! 1 Kgs. 17:7-17, 22-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE FEMINIST 1.

    A Chronicle Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on May 30, 2016
     | 8,635 views

    This sermon explores Elijah's interactions with the widow of Zarephath, and we learn that God never abandons us, faith requires obedience, and to receive a blessing I must be a blessing. Faith was the key to Elijah's ministry.

    Hebrews 11 has been called God’s “Hall of Faith.” Like the Hall of Fame in sports or other arenas of life, Hebrews 11 gives us the names and tells us, if ever so briefly, what God’s people accomplished “by faith.” We hear such profound accomplishments ...read more

    Putting Faith To The Test

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 3, 2016
     | 9,681 views

    Are you willing to go where God sends you and speak and act in his name? It all boils down to a matter of trust.

    Have you ever had an occasion where you thought that your faith was being tested, especially in unusual circumstances? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes God uses unusual circumstances to test a person’s faith. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-24 he told Elijah to go to an unlikely ...read more

    This sermon is the kickoff for our Evangelism Campaign. We look at compassion as being at the center of us reaching out to win others to Christ.

    Faith Requires A Risk 2/9/15 1 Kings 17:7-24 John 9:35-38 The amazing thing about God is that when God wants to do something, God can use anybody to impact others for the kingdom of God.

    What happens when your dreams have been restored only to be ripped from you again. This message looks at the story of Elijah and the widow who lost her son.

    So we are picking up our story where we left off last Mother’s Day. You remember where we left off last Mother’s Day don’t you? For the few of you who don’t recall last year’s message. It began with a drought in the country of Israel, God’s prophet Elijah was ...read more

    Elijah's life teaches us what it means to trust God and allow God to provide for us and lead us. He also teaches us how to respond to God in tragedy and hardship and how to grow our faith through tests.

    Video Transition: Martin Luther King Jr - Last Speech April 3rd the day before he is assassinated – he showed his faith over fear to do the will of God. Would you have done the same?

    The prophet Elijah was God’s instrument to test this Gentile widow’s trust. It’s easier to be reminded of God’s promises than to act on them.

    As someone who has moved 27 times in my life, I know that God decides how long we remain in place. I received orders from the Pentagon, but I regarded them as from God. Elijah was directly told when to move. We, on the other hand, do not have supernatural guidance, or access to God’s ...read more

    In times of scarcity or stress, two personalities respond: fear, the cup half empty; and faith, the cup half full.

    A few moments ago we sang, "Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace." Those are beautiful words; they are lofty sentiments. But how? How can such things happen? In an ...read more
