    There is where we must be in order to receive Gods presence, protection, and provision. Where is there? (Only God knows).

    1 Kings 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. God specifically gave Elijah directions for his protection and his provision, He could only expect these provisions if he obeyed God. Where is there? There is wherever God has ...read more

    We never get what we expect or deserve, we get what we need for spiritual growth, and we recieve grace and mercy.

    Wouldn’t it have been easier if God just would’ve have simply killed Ahab and Jezebel and replaced them with a Godly king and queen? If I was advising Elijah on these matters that’s what I would have advised him to pray for. I mean a drought is a painful thing, no rain for 3 ½ years is bad. ...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

    How does God’s provision come. Extracting principles from the life fo Elijah as to God’s provision.

    (1) INTRODUCTION: God promises us ’daily bread’ (Matt 6:11) which starts with the WORD of God (Matt 4:4). Many times we don’t receive God’s promised provision as we don’t keep His Word or we receive provision but not from the Word of God and miss God’s will. The Prodigal Son is an example of ...read more

    This is a message that has to do with following God by faith even if it doesn’t make sense in our flawed earthly sense of thinking.

    When God Doesn’t Make Sense I Kings 17:1-16 I. Go Where God Says Go (v. 1, 3-9) A. Be faithful where God has planted you (v. 1) 1. Be faithful to God when it is popular 2.

    God stands at the end of our rabbit trails when we have exhausted all human options

    You’ve probably heard the phrase, “going down a rabbit trail.” Wild rabbits don’t like to saunter down Main Street; they prefer bolting down trails leading deep into the woods. (By the way, jackrabbits are capable of speeds up to 40 mph to evade predators). To go down a “rabbit trail,” then, means ...read more

    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

    Elijah’s obedience to announcing judgement on Israel because of apostacy landed him in stressful situations but God wonderfully provided for him.

    ELIJAH AT KERITH AND ZAREPHATH Being a prophet in Israel wasn’t a bundle of fun! Elijah often found himself in stressful situations. True, he had the prestige of being Jehovah’s messenger to those who recognized him, but all too often his message wasn’t welcomed and he became very unpopular. ...read more

    Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.

    When you say the word boot camp, the civilian and enlisted, retired and reserved all conjure up pictures of freshly shaved heads, dog tags, fatigues and, as Chuck Swindoll says, fatigue. It is through the doors of boot camp that an 18-year old from Kiowa, Kansas is shaped into a soldier by doing ...read more
