    The Greater Purpose Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 23, 2017
     | 12,426 views

    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

     | 29,918 views

    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

    Easter is four Sundays away. As we begin to focus on what it represents, I wanted to begin by looking at the resurrections that preceded Jesus'. There were actually five instances of people coming back from the dead before it happened to Jesus.

    THE RESURRECTIONS BEFORE THE RESURRECTION (part one) 1st Kings 17:7-24 Easter is four Sundays away.

    OUR GOD OF RESTORATION 1 KINGS 17:17-24 In our passage today, we are going to study our Lord as the God of Restoration. The Hebrew word for “Restore” is “Chayah”. The root word is “Chai” which means “life”. Every morning Mrs Lana wakes up but ...read more

    The Church As A Kingdom Revealing Church Series

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jan 4, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,036 views

    Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is at hand". What does that mean? To have a Kingdom you must have a King! This sermon shows Elijah, living in faith of that Kingdom, and in recognizing that trusting in the supernatural rather than the natural.

    THE ELIJAH CHURCH IS A KINGDOM REVEALING CHURCH INTRO: This is part of a series using the life of Elijah as a picture of the last day Church. It is also a stand alone sermon. 1 Kings 17:7-24 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the LORD ...read more

    What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,691 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

     | 17,061 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!

    A True Prophet Series

     | 5,514 views

    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

    Elijah was a mighty man of God. He stood like a stone wall against idolatry, and he was not afraid to speak truth to power or tell the people what they needed to hear.

    February 11, 2023 The bible tells us Elijah was from the town of Tishbe, but we don’t anything about his background or who his parents were. His name means, “Yahweh is my God,” and he certainly lived up to his name, standing in sharp contrast against the idolatry of the day. His primary ...read more
