    A Glimpse Of Glory Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 21, 2023
     | 4,197 views

    The transfiguration of Jesus looks backwards to Moses and Elijah, and looks forward to Jesus' passion, ascension and return. The transfiguration is significant for Jesus, His apostles, and all of us.

    Introduction: A. What are the most glorious things you have ever seen? 1. The birth of a baby? A breathtaking sunset? The pounding ocean surf or the shear force of the water going over Niagara Falls? 2. As glorious as those things are, none of those things can even come close to the glorious ...read more

    The importance of obedience to God, the promise of His presence in our lives, and the cost of disobedience, using the story of Elijah and Elisha from 2 Kings 2:1-12.

    Good morning, family! Today, we're diving deep into the heart of 2 Kings 2:1-12. Let me read this passage for us: [Read passage] As C.S. Lewis once wisely said, "Obedience is the road to freedom, humility the road to pleasure, unity the road to personality." Let's pray: Dear Lord, we ask You to ...read more

    Nourishment On Our Journey To The Mountain

    That story always reminds me of the critical scenes in book 3 of Tolkien’s Ring Trilogy, when the lembas bread nourishes Sam and Frodo on their way to Mount Doom.

    Nineteenth Sunday in Course 2024 Saint Paul was one of the greatest Christian thinkers of his day or any other day, and we see it clearly in his letter to the Church of Ephesus. He has just told us to put off our old nature, prone to selfishness and sin, corrupted by uncontrolled lusts for money, ...read more

    The prophet Elijah passed his mantle to Elisha. We are, as disciples, called to leave a legacy for those who come after us. What legacy are we leaving?

    What an amazing story we read as we conclude The Elijah Chronicles. We’ve followed our hero through great and challenging times and some even greater miracles. We’ve also reflected on a time that life got the best of him. Through it all, by God’s grace, Elijah was able to overcome ...read more

    The Mountain Top Experience Series

    Why did Jesus lead Peter, James and John up on the Mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?

    The story in our text today is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke and I believe it’s the source of the phrase “A Mountain Top Experience. So, over the past week I went searching for stories and quotes about Mountain top experiences, and I stumbled on this comment: “The Outing Club is hosting world ...read more

    This is a story about one of the two men that did not die. Enoch had walked with God and was taken so that he did not see death, and Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind.

    In the preceding chapter, Elijah has a contest with evil prophets. In this chapter, Elijah flees for his life. In verses 1-4: Jezebel was maddened with regard to the passing of her prophets since they had told her what she wanted to hear, forecasting her future glory and power. Their occupation ...read more

     | 250 views

    When the fire falls, heaven responds, truth is revealed, and hearts are turned back to God. Elijah's prayer brought down fire not for entertainment, but for divine reawakening.

     | 117 views

    Jehosheba’s name barely appears in Scripture, but her act altered history. She wasn’t a prophet like Elijah, or a warrior like David — she was a guardian.

    THE GAURDIAN JEHOSHEBA TEXT (2 Kings 11:1–3; 2 Chronicles 22:10–12) “But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons which were slain; she hid him… even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, ...read more

    based on 21 ratings
     | 5,187 views

    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

    God set Jeremiah apart for ministry from His mother’s womb. God later encountered 21 year-old Elijah to call him to a ministry of rejection and persecution.
