Preparing For People

Contributed by Mark Elkins on Apr 26, 2003

Are you ready to receive 3000 people today? 1000?500? 5? 1? What do we need to do to prepare to receive those that God has placed just outside our doors?

Tell the person next to you, “It’s no coincidence… that you are here.” “God brought you here!” We need to understand that the only reason people talk about God, or come to church, is because God draws them. That is why we need to be prepared. Bob called his wife from work in the middle of the ...read more

The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death

Contributed by David Smith on Apr 25, 2008

Welcome to the fourth Sunday in Easter, a Sunday often referred to as ‘Shepherding Sunday’, as it’s the one on which we read again everyone’s favourite psalm - the 23rd psalm, that begins, “The Lord is My Shepherd; I shall not want”

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with ...read more

Avilable Power Of God

Contributed by Dan Grubbs on Oct 18, 2005

The same power God demonstrated in the accounts of the Old Testament is available for each and every Christian today.

I often think that because the historical accounts of God’s power in the Old Testament were so amazing, that we think things like that can’t happen today. Can you imagine watching the Red Sea part, or blowing trumpets causing a stone city to fall down or even witnessing time moving backwards? I ...read more

The Wood's Never Too Wet For Revival

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 22, 2016

This is a rewrite of Jeffrey Sims’ message of the same title. The pouring of water on the wood not only helped confirm to the spectators the miraculous nature of the fire, but it symbolized the impossibly of revival taking place.

Team God

Contributed by Je Layugan on Jan 7, 2021

Elijah (meaning “My God is Yahweh”) challenges the 450 prophets of baal (and other prophets) in a “my God, your gods face-off". Like Elijah, teaming up with God when facing battles in life will be a win-win situation.

STORY PRELUDE Elijah confronts King Ahab and challenges baal. He sets the basic rule of the face-off, that is to use woods and a bull to be consumed by their gods as they call them. Though he seems alone, Elijah is on the offense. In his turn to call his God, he prepares the Lord’s altar using ...read more

The Memorial That Disappeared Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 11, 2021

The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal is a classic. What we sometimes forget is that a memorial, an altar to the LORD, was already there before Elijah came! The rest of the story is gripping!

Introduction: The days of Elijah were some of the best and some of the worst in Israel’s history. One of the highest points took place when God responded to Elijah’s prayer in a way that nobody could deny. Not only did this take place in the presence of pagan prophets, the event also took place ...read more

An Awesome God

Contributed by Sylvester Fergusson on Feb 15, 2013

God is awesome, magnificent, undiscribable. THe words we use can only describe a fraction of what God is and even that is unbelievable.

Man has always been fascinated by power. The roar of an engine underneath hood of a powerful car is music to the ears of most men; People are fascinated by the damage the winds in a hurricane can do. After the hurricane they come out with their cameras to take pictures of the damage done by the ...read more
