Anybody who is reading today’s newspapers can understand at least a part of Nehemiah’s frustration. The newscaster reported from Saudi Arabia this week that when fall comes in a few more weeks the midday temperature will drop all the way down to 110°! Tough times in the Middle East!

The Cave, The Call, The Commission

Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Jul 18, 2025

Even mighty prophets face dark valleys. Today, we discover how God meets us in our caves, whispers through our storms, and transforms our deepest struggles into divine purpose.

The Cave, The Call, The Commission Introduction In the pages of Scripture, few narratives capture the raw humanity of faith more vividly than the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19.

When God Calls Your Name: Moses Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021

How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

Wake-Up Call

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 1, 2013

Every believer has three enemies - the world system, the flesh, and the Devil. If we don't wake-up, heed and act on Biblical warnings, we will not only be spent but also taken down. God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

Opening illustration: As we moved to our new home in the Middle-East after the government transferred Maureena and me to a previous location in the mountains, we never expected the place to be hiding scorpions which would show up regularly in our bathrooms and poisonous snakes that would appear in ...read more

The Call To The Altar Of Fire

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Sep 20, 2010

Combing 1 Kings 18 & Gen 49 this is a message showing that God is calling His people back to the altar of fire, warts and all. 1 Kings 18 shows the rebuilding of the altar, and Gen 49 shows the character of the tribes called back.

The Call to the Altar of Fire Text: Genesis 49: 1,2 Jacob has twelve sons and he prophesies over them what it would be like for them in last days. I believe this text can be spiritually applied to the body of Christ in the last days. The literal Hebrew is the "end of days". I want to combine it ...read more
