If God Could Use Elijah: Mt. Carmel to a Broom Tree

After his great victory atop Mt. Carmel against the prophets of Baal, Jezebel stepped up her threats on Elijah, and exhausted from the battle, Elijah fled and found himself hiding under a broom tree, begging God to take his life. There he encountered God in a powerful way, and the course of his life was changed. This Sunday Pastor Kevin continues the series on the life of Elijah and will unpack lessons Elijah learned while fleeing from Ahan and Jezebel. These lessons are applicable to our own spiritual journey. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Kevin preaches the message, If God Could Use Elijah: Mt. Carmel to a Broom Tree.

If God Could Use Elijah: Standing Against Overwhelming Odds

Guest speaker - Clayton Bates

If God Could Use Elijah: Introducing the Prophet Elijah

“Could it be true that God has really lost His muscle? Maybe it would be more accurate to say God lost His men.” These are the words of author Eric Ludy. This Sunday Pastor Kevin begins a new preaching series from 1 and 2 Kings examining the life of the great prophet of Israel, Elijah. Elijah was used by God in extraordinary ways, but James said of him, “he was as human as we are” James 5:17. Join us Sunday as we kick off this series, If God Could Use Elijah, as we introduce Elijah and learn how we too, can be used to do the extraordinary for the Kingdom.

Recommitting God’s People to God’s Glory: Resisting the Drift of Complacency

Nehemiah spent 12 years in Jerusalem leading Judah to spiritual renewal before he returned to the Persian palace to resume his service for the king. By the time he returned to Jerusalem, the people had drifted far from the place they had been under his earlier leadership. He immediately went to work correcting that drift and led them back to spiritual fervency. The danger of complacency that leads to spiritual drift is real and confronts us all. This Sunday Pastor Kevin will complete his series in Nehemiah and will share lessons from Nehemiah's life that will enable us to avoid that danger. Join us Sunday for Resisting the Drift of Complacency.

Recommitting God’s People to God’s Glory: The Word that Stands Above

"As the sailor locates his position on the sea by "shooting" the sun, so we may get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when and only when we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position." These words of A.W. Tozer remind us that God has mapped out a clear plan for our lives and His Church. That plan is made clear in the Word of God -- the means by which we look at God. Only when we place ourselves UNDER His Word are we able to navigate this life properly and effectively. This Sunday Pastor Kevin will continue his series from Nehemiah and look at how Judah's newfound attentiveness and respect for the Law of God shaped our hearts and the nation. This is the role of the Word for us as well. Join us Sunday for his message, The Word that Stands Above.

Recommitting God’s People to God’s Glory: The Danger of Stopping

Nehemiah’s leadership of Judah in the rebuilding ofJerusalem’s walls was resisted repeatedly. Even when he thought the enemy’s pressure had slacked off, they returned with even greater determination to stop the progress. Nehemiah knew he must not quit because the stakes were too high. This Sunday Pastor Kevin will continue his series from Nehemiah, Recommitting God’s People to God’s Glory and discuss the crucial importance of God’s people continuing the battle, no matter how great the resistance becomes. Join us Sunday for Pastor’s message, The Danger of Stopping.

Recommitting God's People to God's Glory: Not Ourselves By Ourselves

“I am not myself by myself." This concept is a challenge to a culture that prides itself in and promotes radical individualism. Relationships are easily abandoned and personalgratification, NOT community health is the more common pursuit. This week Pastor Kevin will continue his series from Nehemiah and will discuss how Judah’s greatest challenge was the internal strife that threatened to bring the great work of God to a screeching halt and how we as the Church can learn from their story and pursue a healthy unity that will position us for greater Kingdom influence. Join us Sunday for Recommitting God’s People to God’s Glory: Not Ourselves By Ourselves.

Recommitting God's People to God's Glory: The Power of Delayed Victory

"There is nothing so weak, for working purposes, as this enormous importance attached to immediate victory. There is nothing that fails like success." These are the words of the great philosopher and theologian, G.K. Chesterton. This Sunday Pastor Kevin will continue his series from Nehemiah and will explore the importance of developing a deep trust in God and a keen alertness to the enemy's tactics as we learn to wait patiently on the victory that is promised. Join us Sunday for Recommitting God's People to God's Glory: The Power of Delayed Victory.
