Showdown On The Mountain Series

Contributed by Gerald Albers on Oct 31, 2011

First of all, do you remember what Elijah’s name in the Hebrew means? It means “Yahweh is my God.” This prophet’s name very clearly defined his mission, to demonstrate or prove that “Yahweh is, in fact, not only his God but the only true and living God.”

Elijah Part II "Showdown on the Mountain" 1 Kings 18:1-39 1 And it came to pass after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth." 2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

Almost Persuaded To Be A Christian

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 31, 2024

Paul says he is persuaded of 3 things: 1). That God loves us, 2). That we are joined to God by love, and 3). That nothing shall be able to separate us from God's love. Are YOU persuaded?

Does the peace offering show the high cost of peace? Does peace with God come through the shedding of blood? As a fellowship or thanksgiving offering, was this shared with God and the priests?
