    God wants a holy people, worshiping rightly and living rightly. He loves us too much to leave us in sin.

    Saturday of the 2nd Week in Advent Recently it was time for me to prune a couple of grapevines growing in our garden.

    Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is at hand". What does that mean? To have a Kingdom you must have a King! This sermon shows Elijah, living in faith of that Kingdom, and in recognizing that trusting in the supernatural rather than the natural.

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 14, 2025
     | 250 views

    Elijah’s encounter with the widow of Zarephath shows how God uses seasons of loss and exposure to bring healing and faith. When God turns on the light, it isn’t to shame us, but to lead us to confession, forgiveness, and life.

    When God Turns on the Light GM. Elijah may almost seem like a superhero when you read through some of the events in his life: He’s the prophet who calls down fire from heaven a number of times, most famously in the Battle on Mt Carmel with the Prophets of Baal.
