    Experience God’s provision when we trust in his goodness like Elijah

    Be careful what you pray for you just might get it. That is exactly what happened to Elijah. He took on the dubious joy of praying against his own nation as it fell deeper and deeper into sin. Jew and Gentile, young and old, person and livestock were all in the midst of a deep drought and the ...read more

    Here are three lessons every believer needs to learn when they are going through tough times.

    WHEN YOUR BROOK DRIES UP 1 Kings 17:1-16 Elijah is one of the most colorful personalities found in the entire Bible. Here in 1 Kings chapter 17, he appears suddenly upon the scene, he doesn’t have a huge introduction, and not a lot is said about his life previous to here in this passage. He ...read more

    When God Shuts The Heavens To Speak To A Nation Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 159 views

    1 Kings 17 shows us that in times of spiritual and economic famine, God is never without a voice or a plan. Elijah's boldness, the widow’s obedience, and God's miracles remind us that we serve a God who speaks, provides, tests, and resurrects.

    WHEN GOD SHUTS THE HEAVENS TO SPEAK TO A NATION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 17:1-24 Supporting Texts: James 5:17-18; Psalm 33:18-19; Philippians 4:19; Hebrews 11:6; Luke 4:25-26 INTRODUCTION: 1 Kings 17 introduces us to one of the most powerful prophets in Scripture—Elijah the ...read more

    When God Turns On The Light

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 14, 2025
     | 146 views

    Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath shows how God uses seasons of loss and exposure to bring healing and faith. When God turns on the light, it isn’t to shame us, but to lead us to confession, forgiveness, and life.

    When God Turns on the Light GM. Elijah may almost seem like a superhero when you read through some of the events in his life: He’s the prophet who calls down fire from heaven a number of times, most famously in the Battle on Mt Carmel with the Prophets of Baal. At the end of his life, he ascends ...read more

    Pulpit drama, imaginatively reconstructing Elijah

    Elijah: Zarephath! What a lovely town! It’s always good to come to Zarephath. A man wants to feel welcomed, and I find that here. Out there, in some of the towns and villages of Israel, I have to watch my back. King Ahab’s agents are everywhere, and who knows what they will do? In some places ...read more

    "Making A Big Deal Out Of A Widow Woman":

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on May 11, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 5,185 views

    This preacher had but one church member in Chapter 17 who believed in him, but it was enough encouragement to give Elijah the boldness to call down fire from Heaven in Chapter 18!

    “Making a Big Deal out of a Widow Woman” How God provided for Elijah... God could no longer bless the nation of Israel. Elijah was instructed by God to go to wicked King Ahab and his notorious wife, Jezebel, that a famine was coming. This famine would effect all of the people of Israel including ...read more

     | 8,118 views

    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
