    How does God’s provision come. Extracting principles from the life fo Elijah as to God’s provision.

    (1) INTRODUCTION: God promises us ’daily bread’ (Matt 6:11) which starts with the WORD of God (Matt 4:4).

    The life of faith is low-profile. We minimize ourselves so that God can be magnified and glorified. Contrasts showy piety and quiet faith actions.

    Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day in Lent, the season of the church year during which we focus our attention on our devotion to God before Easter. Ash Wednesday gives us an unusual opportunity to focus on our mortality and our sin. These are not popular topics, nor issues that we like to ...read more

    Some people will believe early, some later. We are to remain faithful in praying for and witnessing to those who have not believed in Jesus.

    Ill. Persistence * Proverbs 3:5-6 basically says “Trust in God, Stop trying to fit God into your logic.

    Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be willing to be changed into the person God would have him be. And I believe what Jesus said to Nicodemus applies to families and churches as well as to individuals.

    Being Born From Above – John 3: 1 - 17 Intro: 3 men died and were standing at the pearly gates. “What have you done to deserve heaven?” asked Peter. The 1st man, a police officer, said, “I enforced the law and fought crime.” Peter said, “OK, go on in.” The 2nd was a wealthy man who said, “I ...read more
