    Healing For The Soul

    Like Elijah, sometimes we feel utterly defeated (as I did by the shootings in Charleston and Chattanooga) but God remains with us through these times.

    When I left on Sabbatical, I had Charleston on my mind. As I drove to North Carolina, it was on my mind. I tried to avoid newspapers and newscasts, but it was still on my mind. Through much of the Wild Goose Festival, we talked openly about violence and “isms.” I wasn’t home ...read more

    We are called on to act in a manner that pleases God. Elijah’s actions did not please God, but God still gave him what he needed to persevere in faith. We are called on to be united in Christ. We are to be one body that is wholly obedient to God.

    The events we read about in 1 Kings 19:1-9 occur just after Elijah and God have won the challenge against the gods of Baal. As a result of the deaths of the prophets of Baal, Queen Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah. Elijah has been forced to flee for his life. Elijah was discouraged. He had faced ...read more

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 5,192 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more
