    What Are We To Do When God Does Nothing?

     | 993 views

    This is a story about one of the two men that did not die. Enoch had walked with God and was taken so that he did not see death, and Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind.

    In the preceding chapter, Elijah has a contest with evil prophets. In this chapter, Elijah flees for his life. In verses 1-4: Jezebel was maddened with regard to the passing of her prophets since they had told her what she wanted to hear, forecasting her future glory and power. Their occupation ...read more

    Elijah provides a great example of how God uses prayer to change our lives.

    It has been said about prayer that “Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes me.” Indeed, God uses prayer to teach us some things about ourselves to reveal things to us that can change our lives for the better. This is what God used prayer to do for Elijah. Through prayer, God changed Elijah from ...read more

    Today we are going to look at Elijah and Elisha and note their potential influence upon the life and ministry of Jesus.

    Discipleship in the Original Jewish Context: Elijah, Elisha, and Jesus Parallels between Jesus’ ministry and that of Elijah/Elisha (I Kings 19:1-9, 15-16 compared with Matthew 4:1-11) When Protestants have visions, they usually have visions of Jesus.

    Victorious Living, Too Or Is It Two? Both Will Do. Series

     | 323 views

    The words spoken by Jesus are vital for our living victoriously because we are all vulnerable, but with his word written on our hearts we have victory.

    Last week I started a small series, two sermons that are both brought to you by the letter ‘V’. A V twin series. [PP Early twin Harley Davison]. My thinking was to highlight that as we enter 2025 that we know we can be, or more to the point are victorious in Christ Jesus. That we will know our ...read more

    Today, we delve into the remarkable story of the prophet Elijah and explore the spiritual lessons we can learn from his life. Through these powerful accounts, we discover seven key points that highlight how Elijah's journey can relate to our own spiritual walk.

    Bold Faith and Trust in God (1 Kings 17:1-6): Elijah's story begins with an incredible act of faith as he confidently declares a drought upon the land of Israel. This demonstrates his unwavering trust in God's power and his willingness to obey divine instructions. Similarly, we can learn to ...read more

    Elijah went a day's journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He was the last remaining Prophet of the true religion left.

    Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

     | 1,275 views

    Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

    We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more
