    "The Life-Changing Power Of Prayer”

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 30, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,234 views

    Elijah provides a great example of how God uses prayer to change our lives.

    It has been said about prayer that “Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes me.” Indeed, God uses prayer to teach us some things about ourselves to reveal things to us that can change our lives for the better. This is what God used prayer to do for Elijah. Through prayer, God changed Elijah from ...read more

    Using experiences from the life of Elijah the prophet, this message seeks to show that the ravens of God’s provision fly in the worst of conditions, and the direst of circumstances.

    Where Ravens Fly Text: 1 Kings 17:4-6 Intro: Elijah, the prophet of God, has excited my imagination since the early days of my biblical recollections. Actually, Elijah has long been one of my Bible heroes. This servant of God was a man’s man. When it came to preaching the truth of God, mousy he ...read more

    When The Fire Falls

     | 6,885 views

    Ahab and Elijah meet face to face. Ahab thought he had the true god, but only a counterfeit. Elijah knew he had to one and only True God, and knew what it took for God’s fire to fall.

    WHEN THE FIRE FALLS There are certain times when God moves in a very special way that brings the fire upon people. Fire as we know does something special. It purifies, consumes, motivates and shows final judgment. Here the fire is the symbol, evidence and manifestation of God’s Presence and ...read more

    Even godly people struggle with bouts of despair and depression. Take a look at Elijah's life and find biblical ways to deal with these issues.

    What a strange turn of events in the life of our hero we read in 1 Kings 19. Why would this man of God be so despondent that he hoped to die? Let’s recount the circumstances that brought Elijah to this point as we explore a chronicle of despair. First, Elijah had stood boldly before King Ahab ...read more

    Uses the story of Jesus' resurrection of the widow's son in Luke 7 to remind us of the joy and difficulty that can come on Mother's Day.

    Since today is Mother’s Day, I thought I would begin with some possibilities for a list called “Murphy’s Laws of Parenting.” Murphy’s law is the idea that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. So these are kind of some laws of how things can go wrong for moms or ...read more

    All resources are finite, and so when food and other sustenance was given to the Christian community’s widows, the goods ran out.

     | 184 views

    Jesus praises the widow not to excuse injustice—but to highlight sacrificial giving and inspire resilient faithfulness in a world that desperately needs it.

    A poor widow stands in the temple, clutching two small coins in her hand. The coins amount to only a quarter of a day’s wage, and though they are all she has, she still intends to give them as her offering. She may feel exposed—perhaps even small—surrounded by others with far greater wealth to ...read more
