    Elijah knew frustration in ministry and wished he would die as a result. God shows him that he is not alone, and reminds him that he has help.

August 11, 2002 Text: 1 Kings 19:9-18 I was sitting down at Kim’s computer the other day, because my office was just to darn hot and as I searched for a way to begin writing down today’s message, I happened ...read more

    In this last sermon in our series, we witness Elijah's exciting exit and learn some things about how to face the end of our own lives.

    Introduction: A. You all know what a “grand finale” is, right? 1. The grand finale is the very exciting or impressive ending of a performance or a show. 2. Well, I guess someone in rural Arkansas didn’t know the meaning of the phrase. 3. Some of our relatives attended a 4th of ...read more

    Pentecost 12: Life can be full of troubles. Elijah, the prophet, certainly knew this. He found deliverance and help in God. So can we!

    These have been difficult weeks for some of the families at Christ Our Savior. There are those among us who have had to wrestle with death up close and personal. There are people who’ve had to face the death of someone very near and dear to them. There are people here who have had to face very ...read more

    As he followed Prophet Elijah, Elisha had every cause to be distracted. But he kept going. Elisha maintained an unbroken focus and he received the supernatural.

    THE POWER OF UNBROKEN FOCUS "9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” 10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. ...read more

    We're going to look at a phase of Elijah's life as he learned that he could serve even when he was discouraged.

    Happy New Year! I know that it is too early to tell how this year is going to go. These last two years have been pretty rough on everyone. In everything that has gone on in 2020 and 2021, did you ever get to the point where you just felt burned out or ready to give up? That's what ...read more

    Last week, as we considered THE GREAT DEPRESSION, we dealt with the life of Elijah. He is the ideal person to study when you study the subject of depression.

    WHY IS HE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS STUDY? Because of what the Word of God says about him. Look at James 5:17, we read, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are…" Elijah represents us in that - (1) HE HAD HIS HIGH DAYS He enjoyed the highest of highs. We Americans ...read more

    This sermon deals with ministry burn-out in the life of Elijah. God healed him with four steps. 1. REST and REFRESHMENT 2. REDISCOVER God 3. REDIRECTION From God 4. Prepare For REPLACEMENT

    Dealing With Ministry Burn-Out A little girl had been trying for months to learn how to tie her shoes. Finally she grasped the knack of shoe tying and was able to do it by herself.

    They say, “You can never go back.” “They” are right for the most part – and there really is no need to, except to allow where and who we have been to give us a proper perspective on who we have become. I cannot help but wonder how much of that Jesus felt

    Philip Yancey, in his book, The Jesus I Never Knew, gives this illustration: "George Buttrick, former chaplain at Harvard, recalls that students would come into his office, plop down on a chair and declare, ’I don’t believe in God.’ Buttrick would give this disarming reply: ’Sit down and tell me ...read more

    God’s word shows us the worse of humanity, but it also shows us His redeemed. It gives us a picture of Eden. It also shows us a picture of hell. And then, after the fall of Adam. God’s word shows us the—Abraham’s, Noah’s, Moses’, Esther’s, Ruth’s, Daniel’s, Elijah’s, Etc.

    The Gift Of Amnesia. James 1:22-25AMP Amnesia could be a gift to those who would like to forget the last 5 or 10 years, maybe even the last day or two. Only bad thing about that is, you might just do it all again. Lol. For every believer, Amnesia isn’t a gift at ...read more

    The point of this study is to see the necessity of obedience in this first matter (they were to do this so as to provide for the Levite, the stranger, the widow, and the orphan of those among them) before a prayer for blessing can be uttered by the Israel

    Introduction: Last Wednesday PM we examined what Deut. 26:1-11 teaches. We examined it from the perspective of giving thanks in prayer for all that the Lord has done for us.

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    The parable of the unrighteous judge and persistent widow teaches us much about the need for persistence in prayer and how God moves in our lives to answer our prayer and bring about God’s will.

    Luke 18:1-8 “The Art of Asking” INTRODUCTION I received an E-mail message that contained a list of questions with no clear-cut answer. • Why do doctors and lawyers call what they do practice? • Why is abbreviation such a long word? • Why is a boxing ring square? • What was the best thing ...read more
