Elisha’s Ministry - Naaman, Almost The Reject - 2 Kings 5:1-19 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 18, 2022

Naaman was a powerful man, with all the success one could desire, all the esteem and glory, BUT he had leprosy. The account of his cure is of value to us as it contains lessons that benefit us in many ways. It was God who wrought the miracle, not Elisha. He was the willing servant.

ELISHA’S MINISTRY - NAAMAN, ALMOST THE REJECT - 2 Kings 5:1-19 SERIES – MESSAGES ON ELISHA – HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY Number 14 When we consider chapter 5, the focus here is on Naaman, not so much on Elisha, but it is Elisha we are studying.

The Power Of Music

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

There is power in music and song to lead, to lift, and to express love. Yet we often fail to use this power. We let the discords of life, which are very real and powerful, to drive out the song and harmony, and we become a part of the negatives of life without a song.

Paul Aurandt tells this fascinating historical example of the victory of the underdog. Sybaris was one of the wealthiest of Greek cities. The people lived in luxury and were the envy of others. But some people are never satisfied, and so one of the leaders persuaded the tribunal to confiscate ...read more

Thirsting For God

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 29, 2025

This sermon calls every believer to examine the true object of their deepest thirst and turn from the world’s broken wells to the only Source who can satisfy—the living God, who invites us to come, drink, and truly live.

Thirsting for God “If you don’t find life before death, you can’t find life after death” Every human being lives with a thirst.

Building On The Rock Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 18, 2024

Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more
