The Prophet And The Prostitute Series

Contributed by Matt Black on Oct 18, 2019

Why would God ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? What a shocking love story that ultimately points to the greatest love story in God’s Son laying down his life on the cross for an unworthy and unfaithful bride. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. What grace!

OUTLINE 1. GOD’S LOVE IS UNDESERVING (1:1-3a). 2. GOD’S LOVE IS URGENTLY NEEDED (1:3b-9). 3. GOD’S LOVE IS UNRELENTING (1:10-2:1). Do you remember when you were a child? When children are small they run to their mother’s arms. We have little children all around here. Those arms of mama and ...read more

The Prophet Elijah Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 18, 2011

God spoke to Elijah through the stillness, the quiet, the small voice. God did not answer or appear in the extraordinary, the wind, the earthquake or the fire. He certainly can, but oftentimes chooses the quiet.

I want to tell you a true story, look at its ramifications and see how it applies to our lives today. It is a familiar story, an Old Testament story, a story of one of God’s greatest prophets and his calling.

False Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 11, 2016

When the people of Judah and Jerusalem were in exile in Babylon there were false prophets who professed to be speaking for the Lord but they were just telling the people what they wanted to hear. These false prophets exist today. Warn your people!

Jeremiah 29:8-9, 15-23 (Ask the people to look up this passage as you make a few comments) Last Sunday we took a look at the part of this letter that pertained to the Jews who were taken into from Judah and Jerusalem.

The Last Prophet

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016

John’s message was “Repent!” So was Jesus’. Here is the distinction between the two. John urged repentance because he thought judgment was at hand. Jesus urged repentance because salvation was at hand.

Grace can truly be said in the household that has received the LORD's grace, and the gift of faith, the gift of prayer, and the gift of answered prayer. All we have to do now is obey.

THE WIDOW AND THE PROPHET. 1 Kings 17:8-24. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17).

The Pouting Prophet Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019

It is sad when someone gets to a place in life where the misery of others brings satisfaction. Rather than desiring repentance and restoration, a desire to see judgment can outweigh compassion.

The Pouting Prophet Jonah 4: 1-11 We have discovered an interesting journey while studying the book of Jonah. The prophet’s life was filled with several twists and turns after hearing the call to go to Nineveh. Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more

Soothsayer Or Prophet

The Greatest Prophet Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

The Prophets say such high and lofty things, for they are speaking for God. Jesus, however, did not speak for God, but as God. He was the very voice of God, and when people heard His Word, they were hearing God speak, and not just His spokesman.

F. F. Bruce in his commentary on Hebrews concludes (Jesus) "is the prophet through whom God has spoken His final word; He is the priest who has accomplished a perfect work of cleansing for his people's sin; He is the King who sits enthroned in the place of chief honor alongside the ...read more

Prophetic History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The image is a unity, and one kingdom leads to another. It is no accident that the traditional interpretation, which has been the view of the church through all the centuries, takes these four kingdoms to be the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman.
