Denomination: Seventh-Day Adventist
Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.
Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more

His story reminds us of how adversity drives us deeper into God and develops us into the man or women God wants us to be.

In a contest on Mt. Carmel, he was God's instrument to prove to Israel that Jehovah was the Lord. But after that amazing victory Elijah sank into the depths of despair. He sat down under a juniper tree and asked God to take his life. Does that surprise you about a man of God? I hope not.
Tom Lowe 6/26/16 ELIJAH: FIGHTING DEPRESSION (Text: 1 Kings 18-19) Depression is the common cold of our emotions. Eventually it touches everyone—even God's people. I know this because I am a born-again Christian who has battled depression for many years. Just recently, I passed through a ...read more

God’s grace is spectacular… even when it isn’t
ENGAGE Fourteen years ago I was a struggling bi-vocational church planter. Because our church plant had gone through some tough times, we were meeting at our house over the summer and praying for God’s direction. During that time I got a phone call from Denny Howard, who was the pastor here at ...read more
Explore the power of prayer and the need for spiritual revival, using the story of Elijah from 1 Kings 18: 41-46 as a reminder of how God can transform even the driest seasons of our lives into periods of abundant blessing.
Good morning, church! We're going to dive right into the heart of the Old Testament today, as we explore a story of revival, prayer, and transformation from 1 Kings 18: 41-46. Here's how it goes: "Then Elijah said to Ahab, 'Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.' So Ahab ...read more

Elijah’s obedience to announcing judgement on Israel because of apostacy landed him in stressful situations but God wonderfully provided for him.
ELIJAH AT KERITH AND ZAREPHATH Being a prophet in Israel wasn’t a bundle of fun! Elijah often found himself in stressful situations. True, he had the prestige of being Jehovah’s messenger to those who recognized him, but all too often his message wasn’t welcomed and he became very unpopular. ...read more
Scripture: 1 Kings 17:1-6
We never get what we expect or deserve, we get what we need for spiritual growth, and we recieve grace and mercy.
Wouldn’t it have been easier if God just would’ve have simply killed Ahab and Jezebel and replaced them with a Godly king and queen? If I was advising Elijah on these matters that’s what I would have advised him to pray for. I mean a drought is a painful thing, no rain for 3 ½ years is bad. ...read more

Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.
When you say the word boot camp, the civilian and enlisted, retired and reserved all conjure up pictures of freshly shaved heads, dog tags, fatigues and, as Chuck Swindoll says, fatigue. It is through the doors of boot camp that an 18-year old from Kiowa, Kansas is shaped into a soldier by doing ...read more

This sermon is to those of us who know God is doing something new, and they want to make the transition with God.
Elisha had the reputation as the man who poured water on Elijahs hands. He was a servant, a helper, a student, a minister to Elijah. God was getting ready to do a new thing, to release into the earth a double portion anointing of his spirit but in order to bring in the new he had to take out the ...read more
