The Prophet Who Felt Loss

Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 11, 2007

The life of Elijah is such an encouragement to us as we are able to identify with him in his reaction to the events of his day - God is the same for us today and is able to strengthen and enable us to witness for Him.

THE PROPHET WHO FELT LOSS 1 KINGS 19:1-19 Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of all time. God produced many mighty miracles through him; yet we see him at one of the low points in his life; in fact perhaps one of the darkest moments of his life. Amazingly, this dark period takes place ...read more

Overcoming Discouragement: The Elijah Syndrome Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 19, 2024

Are you discouraged? Listen for the gentle whisper of the Lord. Elijah was transformed by the still small voice of God. You can be too.

In 1 Kings we see the victorious bold Elijah and we see the opposite extreme when Elijah faced discouragement. The background comes from long years of drought in Israel. Elijah made a prophecy that there would be no dew or rain in Israel. This drought was extremely severe. Now Elijah the ...read more

A Covenant Relationship With God

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jul 18, 2003

Our God is a covenant-relationship God. In the Old Testament, God entered into a covenant relationship with Israel. Today, He enters into a covenant relationship with the individual believer.

A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second….When He said, ’A ...read more

Satan's "Paper-Mache" Deception

Midbar-Biblical Wilderness, God Speaks To Us In The Wilderness.  Series

Contributed by Pastor David Parla on Oct 6, 2020

Why  did  God  make wilderness  places  anyway?  God also knew that the wilderness is  an  ideal place  to  test  his  people and to help  them  learn  faith  and endurance.

Midbar, arabah and eremos—Biblical wilderness midbar has the meaning of “speak” or “word.”  God speaks to us in the wilderness.  God also humbles and proves us in the wilderness (Deut. 8:2).  The wilderness period can last days, or years, depending on how quickly we learn its ...read more

Declarations That Defeat Us

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 25, 2019

Far too many Christians are defeating themselves. And they’re doing it with words. This message looks at Numbers 13 and 14, a passage about the spies sent to verify what God said about the Promised Land.

Are we ready to get into the Word? If you have markers, put one in Deuteronomy 1 and in Hebrews 3. We’re going to open tonight in Numbers 13. The greatest struggle for most Christians is their declarations. Tonight, we’re going to talk about “Declarations That Defeat Us.” We’re going to look at a ...read more

God Restores Elijah / Preparation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 3, 2020

In this first-of-two talks we look at some of the initial things that helped Elijah recover from depression. They are things we can also do. They paved the way for God to address the root cause of the problem: Elijah's sense of failure.

INTRODUCTION We’re now onto the second talk in our series called ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ In these talks we’re going back to some of the famous stories in the Old Testament which we may have heard as children, perhaps at home or at Sunday School. The idea is to take a fresh look at them as ...read more

Made Holy, Able And Ready By God

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Mar 14, 2004

Lent 3: Moses walked on holy ground and was commissioned to accomplish God’s purposes. We consider holiness, qualifications and efficacy of ministry in this message.

There’s a cute little story of Moses appearing in the Rose Garden of the White House. When the White House staff recognized this important visitor, they quickly rushed in and told the President. He too was impressed and so he rushed out to welcome Moses. But to everyone’s shock, the very moment ...read more

The plea of God’s champion prophet? Surprisingly. Last week in Episode II of our sermon series “Seer ...read more
