Sermons on Saul Jonathan:

A Double Portion

Contributed by Ava Ch on Aug 26, 2025

we reflect on the story of Elijah and Elisha, we are reminded that God's Spirit is not confined to the past. It is being poured out now.

Last week, we saw Elijah at one of his lowest points. Fresh off the victory over Baal’s prophets on Mount Carmel, he spiraled into fear and despair. He ran from Jezebel, collapsed under a broom tree, and told God, “I have had enough... I alone am left.” Elijah’s ego—his belief that he was the last ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 9, 2014

God tells us to rejoice when the world persecutes us and makes people give us a hard time about our faith. Why on earth would I want to rejoice? What possible advantage could my being persecuted do for God?

It’s The Times In Between

Psalms 58 And 109 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020

The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
