Gods Of Pleasure Series

Contributed by Kyle Idleman on Sep 27, 2010

A sermon in a series on removing sin as the idol in our lives.

Last week we discovered that for most of us in this room idolatry is the issue. Sin is usually what we focus on, but it’s just the fruit. Idolatry is always the tree from which it grows. So behind every sin struggle that I have, behind every sin struggle that you have, is a false god that is ...read more

Elijah The Prophet Of Fire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.

Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more
