    God stands at the end of our rabbit trails when we have exhausted all human options

    You’ve probably heard the phrase, “going down a rabbit trail.” Wild rabbits don’t like to saunter down Main Street; they prefer bolting down trails leading deep into the woods. (By the way, jackrabbits are capable of speeds up to 40 mph to evade predators). To go down a “rabbit trail,” then, means ...read more

    There is where we must be in order to receive Gods presence, protection, and provision. Where is there? (Only God knows).

    1 Kings 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. God specifically gave Elijah directions for his protection and his provision, He could only expect these provisions if he obeyed God. Where is there? There is wherever God has ...read more

    What would you do if God asked you to give the very last of your possessions to a complete stranger? This episode in the life of Elijah, shows us what real faith is all about.

    THE WISDOM OF A WIDOW I Kings 17:8-16 The sun beats down unmercifully upon the tiny town of Zarephath, a remote village well to the north of the land of Palestine. It is there that a fraw widow woman searches for sticks. Why is she searching for sticks? She is searching for sticks because ...read more

    Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.

    When you say the word boot camp, the civilian and enlisted, retired and reserved all conjure up pictures of freshly shaved heads, dog tags, fatigues and, as Chuck Swindoll says, fatigue. It is through the doors of boot camp that an 18-year old from Kiowa, Kansas is shaped into a soldier by doing ...read more

    Here are three lessons every believer needs to learn when they are going through tough times.

    WHEN YOUR BROOK DRIES UP 1 Kings 17:1-16 Elijah is one of the most colorful personalities found in the entire Bible. Here in 1 Kings chapter 17, he appears suddenly upon the scene, he doesn’t have a huge introduction, and not a lot is said about his life previous to here in this passage. He ...read more

    Elijah’s obedience to announcing judgement on Israel because of apostacy landed him in stressful situations but God wonderfully provided for him.

    ELIJAH AT KERITH AND ZAREPHATH Being a prophet in Israel wasn’t a bundle of fun! Elijah often found himself in stressful situations. True, he had the prestige of being Jehovah’s messenger to those who recognized him, but all too often his message wasn’t welcomed and he became very unpopular. ...read more

    Experience God’s provision when we trust in his goodness like Elijah

    Be careful what you pray for you just might get it. That is exactly what happened to Elijah. He took on the dubious joy of praying against his own nation as it fell deeper and deeper into sin. Jew and Gentile, young and old, person and livestock were all in the midst of a deep drought and the ...read more

    “He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people” Hebrews 9:26-2

    Theme: God in whom we trust Text: 1 Kings 17:8-16; Heb. 9:24-28; Mark 12:38-44 One of our greatest concerns in life is to know whom to trust. This is simply because our whole life, especially our personal relationships, depends on it. Politicians and advertising agencies know that their success ...read more
