    God teaches the importance of the gospel ministry, It's a gift that we should not take for granted.

    1 Kings 19:19-21; 2 Kings 2:1-15, 23-25 Bullies, bears, and a baldy. Did I capture your attention when I read the Old Testament lesson this morning? It was a longer than usual reading, but if your mind started to wander, I bet you sat up when you heard how two bears mauled 42 young men for making ...read more

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 6,117 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more

    Like Elijah, sometimes we feel utterly defeated (as I did by the shootings in Charleston and Chattanooga) but God remains with us through these times.

    When I left on Sabbatical, I had Charleston on my mind. As I drove to North Carolina, it was on my mind. I tried to avoid newspapers and newscasts, but it was still on my mind. Through much of the Wild Goose Festival, we talked openly about violence and “isms.” I wasn’t home ...read more

    Obadiah addressed his prophecy to the people of Edom because of what they wouldn’t do. What were those things?

    It was a tragedy; the city of God was attacked and destroyed. The holy things were profaned the sacred things were destroyed and the people were imprisoned. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise for over a hundred years the prophets had been warning the people that if they continued in their evil ...read more

    Principles from Elijah’s life to see revival come in ours.

    (1) INTRODUCTION Elijah was a man with the same nature as us (James 5:17-18) and yet he prayed with such faith that the abundance of rain fell! How can we align ourself with God’s purposes to pray for revival - for the former and the latter rain together to fall in our generation ? There are ...read more

    Putting Faith To The Test

    Are you willing to go where God sends you and speak and act in his name? It all boils down to a matter of trust.

    Have you ever had an occasion where you thought that your faith was being tested, especially in unusual circumstances? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes God uses unusual circumstances to test a person’s faith. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-24 he told Elijah to go to an unlikely ...read more

    God Loves Us Too Much To Leave Us

    God wants a holy people, worshiping rightly and living rightly. He loves us too much to leave us in sin.

    Saturday of the 2nd Week in Advent Recently it was time for me to prune a couple of grapevines growing in our garden. We don’t actually harvest the fruit; they provide attractive foliage on our two arbors and give the birds something to eat. The psalmist speaks of God’s people, Israel, as His ...read more

    The world is in a very critical time right now. How are we to deal with the proliferation of perversion and pornography? Can you hear the voice of God through all of it? Are you living in divine revelation from God and the Anointing of the Holy Spirit?

    Here in the USA, we stand in the balance of righteousness and holiness before God. We are still amid a global pandemic that has crushed our constitutional and civil rights. Our Federal, City governments, and schools are on the brink of disaster because demonic principalities of deviant, perverted ...read more

    Reasons For Judgment

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Apr 15, 2020
     | 2,761 views

    The people of Edom may have thought, "we have done nothing wrong"; however, they had. God uses Obadiah to give them the reasons they would be judged harshly for the wrongs they had done.

    In our lesson tonight Obadiah gives the reasons why Edom would be judged so severely by God. 10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, This is a very clear statement of why Edom is being judged by God. Someone may try to argue that Edom did not do violence against Israel. They were ...read more

    The Pride Of Thine Heart Will Bring Thee Down

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 4, 2022
     | 1,512 views

    Edom was proud of its accomplishments, but in the long run, God would bring her down. Whether they are a nation, a business, a church, or a family, those in positions of authority should not be overly self-assured.

    Obadiah is the shortest book of the Bible. It is titled The Vision of Obadiah as it prophesies the judgment to fall on the nation of Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau which made them related to the children of Israel (Genesis 25:19-27:45). Because of Edom's defiance of God, their ...read more
