    One man's brave stand against those who would rob him of his inheritance.

    THE THEFT OF A VINEYARD. 1 Kings 21:1-21. Some of us have had the privilege of living in a land where, on paper at least, there was no trespass law. Whether this was because ‘the land belongs to the LORD’ is doubtful - surely no land can share today in the special status of ancient Israel? Yet ...read more

    The story of an honest man, Naboth, killed as a result of an abuse of power and perhaps, because of a king... Ahab ... telling half truths. It also warns of the potential of abuse of power/influence by Christians.

    This is one story of several that trace the confrontation between the prophet Elijah and king Ahab. Ahab is usually a pretty bad guy. These stories have there origins in chapter 17. There, Elijah seems to burst on the scene from out of nowhere, and curses a drought into existence in the presence ...read more

    Ahab goes one step too fr and God decides to act in judgement of him and Jezebel. Yet even then God's mercy is to the fore.

    Reading through the story of Ahab and Jezebel, I occasionally feel a bit sorry for Ahab. He gets a glimpse every now and then of what’s the right thing to do. You feel like he’d really like to do the right thing, but he’s made so many bad decisions in the past that he just ...read more

    Dealing with life's injustices in a broken world...yet trusting the One who will make things right, because in Christ He has experienced injustice.

    Life is frequently unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Brutality and injustice are all around us. And we scratch our heads and wonder “Why?” God’s purpose is beyond us; His ways are above our ways. He causes all things to work together for good, but not all things are ...read more

    God's justice is sure. God's mercy is great.

    We read last week in 1 Kings 21 of a great injustice and cruelty. • An innocent man Naboth, who owns a vineyard, was framed and murdered. And according to 2 Kings 9:26 all his sons were killed too. • Queen Jezebel wanted to prevent any future claimants for the land. King Ahab coveted his ...read more

    We must always turn our backs on injustice. When we support it, we encourage innocent people to become guilty.

    Injustice and Scandal When we read the story of Elijah, the prophet, we come across two really disgusting people, rulers of the breakaway kingdom of Israel. They are Ahab the king and Jezebel his wife. The history tells us that “Ahab ben Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all that ...read more

     | 3,755 views

    The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

    In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

    Ahab was king of the Ten Northern Tribes (Israel) and wanted to purchase a vineyard growing next to his palace, The owner wouldn't sell, so Jezebel (the queen) took matters into her own hands. The results were not pretty.

    Introduction: After Elijah had left Mount Horeb and returned to Israel, he seems to be out of the picture for a while. King Ahab, though, had been very busy with wars against Syria (see 1 Kings 20). After that, Ahab saw a vineyard belonging to someone else but Ahab wanted it anyway. He got it, all ...read more
