    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,386 views

    The story is Elijah's proposed show-down between God and Baal at Mount Carmel. God doesn't want just part of us. He wants all of us, and he will tolerate no substitute, because he knows nothing else will satisfy in his place.

    1 Kings 18:20-39 When You Really Need God to Show Up Today’s story might be called, “The Great Show-down at Mount Carmel.” It is an ultimate, winner-takes-all kind of challenge, Yahweh God vs. Baal. Which one is real? Which one will come through for his people? But why all the ...read more

    The difficulties associated with our modern day are reaching new levels of intensity. The majority is not interested in the Word or worship. As difficult as it may be, we remain obligated to serve the Lord and reach others. We can advance for Christ.

He warned the spirit of antichrist was already among us, seeking to undermine the church and hinder her ministry. He reminds us that we are living in the last time, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,488 views

    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

    The Need for Spiritual Discernment 1 John 4: 1-6 I am sure we’ve all been warned about believing everything we hear. The same caution should be applied for what we see as well. It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more

    “Don’t Get Hangry Like I Did. Keep Devouring the One Thing Needful!”

    Every now and then a new word comes into the English language, which makes me wonder what took so long for it to be “invented.” Once such brilliant word is “hangry.” Do you know what it means to be “hangry”? It’s the anger you feel because you’re so ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 25,083 views

    Obedience which does not proceed from genuine love to Christ has no reality in it; it is not the genuine offspring of the heart, the real act of the soul. It lacks the essential motive and inspiration of all Christian deeds.

    OBEDIENCE: THE EVIDENCE OF HIS LOVE Study Text: John 14: 15 - 21 Introduction: - Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command”. Three motives for obedience exist: We can obey because we have to; we can obey because we need to; or we can obey because we want to. - A slave obeys because ...read more

    Do you remember the restaurant scene from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? The snooty manager wasn’t going to let Ferris and his friends have a table because they didn’t have a reservation.
