The Widow And The Prophet

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 15, 2013

Grace can truly be said in the household that has received the LORD's grace, and the gift of faith, the gift of prayer, and the gift of answered prayer. All we have to do now is obey.

THE WIDOW AND THE PROPHET. 1 Kings 17:1-24. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17).

A True Prophet Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 29, 2013

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

The Last Prophet

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016

John’s message was “Repent!” So was Jesus’. Here is the distinction between the two. John urged repentance because he thought judgment was at hand. Jesus urged repentance because salvation was at hand.

Matthew 11:2-6 The Last Prophet 2/8/15 D. Marion Clark Introduction What would it have been like to encounter Jesus in the flesh? To see him with your own eyes, hear his voice, witness his deeds, and listen to his teachings? What impact would he have had on you? Our new sermon series thinks ...read more

Building Prophets

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Jul 12, 2021

a prophet is never recognized for their worth in their own hometown

Mark 6:1-13 May the words of my mouth be acceptable to you, O Lord, and encourage us to be ‘sent out’ to spread the Good News. Amen. We heard in the Gospel: Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and ...read more

An Unwitting Prophet

Have you ever had something bad happen in your life, that God used to bring about something really great?

Creator God, you said that even if a mother could forget the child she is nursing, you would never forget us!

Prophetic History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The image is a unity, and one kingdom leads to another. It is no accident that the traditional interpretation, which has been the view of the church through all the centuries, takes these four kingdoms to be the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman.

When the judge asked the man why he parked in a no parking zone, the man replied that the sign said, "Fine for parking." Most of the mistakes made in life are due to false interpretation of words and symbols. We read into to words what is not intended by their author. When Jesus said ...read more

The Pouting Prophet Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019

It is sad when someone gets to a place in life where the misery of others brings satisfaction. Rather than desiring repentance and restoration, a desire to see judgment can outweigh compassion.

The Pouting Prophet Jonah 4: 1-11 We have discovered an interesting journey while studying the book of Jonah. The prophet’s life was filled with several twists and turns after hearing the call to go to Nineveh. Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more

False Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 11, 2016

When the people of Judah and Jerusalem were in exile in Babylon there were false prophets who professed to be speaking for the Lord but they were just telling the people what they wanted to hear. These false prophets exist today. Warn your people!

Jeremiah 29:8-9, 15-23 (Ask the people to look up this passage as you make a few comments) Last Sunday we took a look at the part of this letter that pertained to the Jews who were taken into from Judah and Jerusalem.

A Prophetic Warning

Contributed by John Hardwick on Aug 25, 2016

As one reads news articles from around the Christian community, it is hard not to notice that many churches and denominations seem to stepping away from "controversial" biblical teachings in favor of a world view version of the bible.

Leviticus 26:1-17 Luke 4:16–21; 1 Corinthians 7:21–24; Galatians 6:7–10 I am Adonai your God. “‘Keep my Shabbats, and revere my sanctuary; I am Adonai. A Prophetic ...read more

The Better Prophet Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2022

The prophecy in Deuteronomy 18 pointed to Jesus being a prophet like unto Moses, but we don't often think of Jesus as being a prophet - let alone a better prophet than Moses. Why is Jesus, as a prophet, important to us?

I am going to give you 5 true statements about a Bible character, and then I’ll ask you WHO I’m referring to. When he was born – the people of Israel were under the control of a foreign nation.

The Mammon Of The Prophets.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 19, 2023

They may as well cover their lips since they had nothing to say from God.

THE MAMMON OF THE PROPHETS. Micah 3:5-12. Jesus said, ‘Ye cannot serve God and Mammon’ (cf. Matthew 6:24). Yet this was what “the prophets” of Prophet Micah’s day were trying to do: they would preach “Peace” to those who fed them, but would “prepare war” against those who “putteth not into ...read more

Giving And The Prophets Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 15, 2023

If we ask, what is the minimum standard we can give to the Lord and still be OK? then it reveals a problem in our relationship with the Lord. We find joy in giving abundantly.

In many areas of life, we find minimum standards. There are minimum daily requirements of vitamins. There are minimum speed limits on the interstate. You probably remember a time in your student life when a paper was assigned and the first question a student asked was, what is the minimum number ...read more
