    Naboth's Vineyard Series

    Dealing with life's injustices in a broken world...yet trusting the One who will make things right, because in Christ He has experienced injustice.

    Life is frequently unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Brutality and injustice are all around us. And we scratch our heads and wonder “Why?” God’s purpose is beyond us; His ways are above our ways. He causes all things to work together for good, but not all things are ...read more

    I don’t want to be too hard on Jezebel this morning, so let me tell you that she was born with some great abilities and qualities. However, she elected to use them in the wrong fashion.

    TITLE: THE ROOSTER MAY CROW BUT THE HEN DELIVERS THE GOODS SCRIPTURE: I KINGS 21:25 I must admit to you this morning that preaching a sermon on Mother’s Day with Jezebel anywhere in the topic may not seem like a wise idea. Mothers are revered – Mother’s are respected - ...read more

    Power Abuse & Half Truths

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Jun 21, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,790 views

    The story of an honest man, Naboth, killed as a result of an abuse of power and perhaps, because of a king... Ahab ... telling half truths. It also warns of the potential of abuse of power/influence by Christians.

    This is one story of several that trace the confrontation between the prophet Elijah and king Ahab. Ahab is usually a pretty bad guy. These stories have there origins in chapter 17. There, Elijah seems to burst on the scene from out of nowhere, and curses a drought into existence in the presence ...read more

    Ahab goes one step too fr and God decides to act in judgement of him and Jezebel. Yet even then God's mercy is to the fore.

    Reading through the story of Ahab and Jezebel, I occasionally feel a bit sorry for Ahab. He gets a glimpse every now and then of what’s the right thing to do. You feel like he’d really like to do the right thing, but he’s made so many bad decisions in the past that he just ...read more

    Prophecy And Grace

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 12, 2015
     | 3,969 views

    We as Christians know that all people are responsible to God for their actions. God is the final King over this earth, and he holds all of us accountable for our actions.

    The story in 1 Kings 21:17-29 is the aftermath of King Ahab’ theft of Naboth’s vineyard by murder. It is a story of prophecy and grace. Ahab died in battle shortly after the events in this story, and dogs licked his blood at the pool in Samaria. Believers have the courage not to take ...read more

    In this part of the story of Elijah, God sends him to tell Ahab that God's patience had run out with the king and his wife. God has great compassion and patience, but He is also just and His patience does run out.

    Introduction: A. I like the story told about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots. 1. She pulled and he pushed, but the boots still didn’t want to go on. 2. When the second boot was finally on, she had worked up a sweat. 3. She almost whimpered when ...read more

    The pandemic seems to go on forever. Instead of getting better, Covid is getting worse. Many are becoming discouraged and depressed because of lockdowns and other guidelines that give us limited mobility.

    Note: I developed a simple set of homemade PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. They're not fancy or professional quality, and for this sermon there were only as small number of slides (most of which are maps), but if you're interested in having the PowerPoint file I ...read more

    The Emperor’s New Grove

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,689 views

    The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

    In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

    "depression (Part 1): Understanding The Symptoms, Effects, Cauising Factors, And Cases In The Bible" Series

    Depression affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. It is affecting more than 264 million people, Christians and non-Christians alike. This sermon talks about symptoms and factors that cause depression and what the Bible says about it.

    Last Sunday, we learned about grief. Today and next week, we will learn about depression. Depression is different from sadness or grief. The death of a loved one, loss of a job, or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. But being sad is not the same as having ...read more

    God's justice is sure. God's mercy is great.

    We read last week in 1 Kings 21 of a great injustice and cruelty. • An innocent man Naboth, who owns a vineyard, was framed and murdered. And according to 2 Kings 9:26 all his sons were killed too. • Queen Jezebel wanted to prevent any future claimants for the land. King Ahab coveted his ...read more

    We must always turn our backs on injustice. When we support it, we encourage innocent people to become guilty.

    Injustice and Scandal When we read the story of Elijah, the prophet, we come across two really disgusting people, rulers of the breakaway kingdom of Israel. They are Ahab the king and Jezebel his wife. The history tells us that “Ahab ben Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all that ...read more
