    Contributed by David Radcliff on Mar 25, 2016
     | 7,934 views

    Many times we become discouraged if things don’t go exactly our way. We become angry and bitter and often we blame God. Accusing Him of not answering our prayers

    Why It Rained When Elijah Prayed I Kings 18:1-8, 41-46 Many times we become discouraged if things don’t go exactly our way. We become angry and bitter and often we blame God. Accusing Him of not answering our prayers. But God is not at fault – we are. We are the one’s who are ...read more

    A Storm's Coming

     | 829 views

    After witnessing God's overwhelming power on Mount Carmel, Elijah discovered that breakthrough often begins with the smallest signs of God's movement.

    A Storm's Coming 1 Kings 18:44 "And at the seventh time he said, 'Behold, a little cloud like a man's hand is rising from the sea.' And he said, 'Go up, say to Ahab, "Prepare your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you."'" - 1 Kings 18:44 ...read more

    The God Who Answers By Fire Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 490 views

    1 Kings 18 is a divine call to revival. When a nation turns away from God, He raises voices like Elijah—bold, prayerful, and uncompromising. The God who answers by fire is still alive today. He is calling His people back to the altar, back to pure worship, and back to a place of total surrender.

    THE GOD WHO ANSWERS BY FIRE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 18:1-46 Supporting Texts: Malachi 3:18; Hebrews 12:29; James 5:17-18; Jeremiah 20:9; Psalm 24:3-5 INTRODUCTION: 1 Kings 18 is one of the most dramatic and powerful chapters in Scripture.

    Speak, Lord

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2026
     | 235 views

    When we are guilty of a lack of trust, like Elijah, we know that this sin too is forgiven. Our God loves us and quietly, gently notes our sin, assures us of His forgiveness, and then points us in the direction that we should go.

    SPEAK, LORD Preached: January 25, 2026 (Love’s Chapel) June 22, 2025 (Canton First) Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-19a The older I get, the more I find myself identifying with the Prophet Elijah. Not in the sense that I think that I’m a prophet but in the sense that Elijah’s ...read more

    based on 124 ratings
     | 16,157 views

    In the last days there will be a lot of people sportin’ a brand of Carmel-Coated Christianity that looks and sounds good that will be powerless.

    I Kings 18:1-40 (READ) II Timothy 3:1 & 5 – “Mark my words. (Pay attention). In the last days there will be a lot of people who have a form of Godliness but there won’t be any power in it.

    The odds may looked stacked in the favor of evil, but Elijah is about to experience the truth that one plus God is a majority.

    Introduction: This passage has it setting when the spiritual tide in Israel is at an extremely low ebb. The people have, for the most part, turned their backs on the Lord and have gone after the Canaanite god Baal. It is against this backdrop of apostasy and idolatry that the prophet Elijah ...read more

    A sermon on the story of Elijah and the Prophets of Baal.

    READING: 1 Kings 18:17-40 (Text v39.) Ever wondered why it is that a church can be small and struggling (and remain that way) - insignificant in the community - and not even looking like changing for many years to come; and then ALL OF A SUDDEN, through a series of events - a speaker comes with a ...read more

    Things look bad for Israel; then, God's man comes from the East (can you hear the spurs jingle?)

    Following the reign of King David, his son, Solomon reigned in wisdom and the strength of God for approximately 30-35 years before his own apostasy and decline.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 31,858 views

    Altars in the Old Testament were geographical places built to worship God. Altars today are spiritual places within people. This sermon looks at the significance of rebuilding the altars of our hearts and the blessing it brings.

    THE ELIZAH CHURCH IS AN ALTAR BUILDING CHURCH INTRO: This is part of a series using the life of Elijah as a picture of the last day Church. It is also a stand alone sermon. 1 Kings 18:16-40 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he said to ...read more

    Just Like Us (Part Four)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 3, 2019
     | 7,503 views

    Last week we looked at Samson. Samson was physically strong but in some ways he was spiritually weak. We, too can be strong in some areas but weak in others. Today, we'll look at Elijah. He was bold and courageous...well, most of the time.

    JUST LIKE US (part four) Last week we looked at the example of Samson. When Samson was born he was given a special Nazirite vow. He couldn't drink alcohol or even grape juice. And he couldn't cut his hair. These conditions were to indicate that he would be noticeably set apart for a ...read more

    The Memorial That Disappeared Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 11, 2021
     | 5,576 views

    The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal is a classic. What we sometimes forget is that a memorial, an altar to the LORD, was already there before Elijah came! The rest of the story is gripping!

    Introduction: The days of Elijah were some of the best and some of the worst in Israel’s history. One of the highest points took place when God responded to Elijah’s prayer in a way that nobody could deny. Not only did this take place in the presence of pagan prophets, the event also took place ...read more
