The Problems of Life and the Promises of God

I Kings 17:6-16

June 24, 2023 • Tim Cain • 1 Kings 17:6–16

There are times when the problems of life can seem absolutely overwhelming. Times where our circumstances can become so bleak that we find it difficult to believe that God is really for us or that his promises could possibly be true. In this story we will find that even on our darkest days the promises of God are always bigger than the problems of this life. Not only are his promises always bigger than our problems but in this story we will come to see why it is that we can trust our God even when we have no idea exactly how he plans to keep his promises.

A Glimpse of Glory

September 2, 2023 • Joshua Moffit • Matthew 17:1–13

In the Transfiguration God pulls back the curtain just a little bit to give us a glimpse of who Jesus is so that we can have confidence through life’s often difficult pilgrimage that he will satisfy and exceed all our greatest expectations. Jesus is the Lord of Glory, the living God who comes to save his people in the most inconceivable way – by laying aside his glory and ultimately by laying down his very life to save sinners.

Where is the God of Elijah?

August 26, 2023 • Tim Cain • 2 Kings 2:1–14

How do you continue to follow God when you lose someone who has faithfully taught you what he is like? That is the question Elisha finds himself facing in II Kings 2. Knowing that Elijah is about to be taken up to heaven Elisha is faced with the difficult prospect of going on without him. However, before he leaves Elijah gives Elisha the chance to make one last request of him. What would he ask for? What would you have asked for? Will Elisha get his final request answered? These are some of the questions we will look at in II Kings 2.

The Fire of God: Redemptive and Consuming

August 19, 2023 • Wes Van Fleet • 2 Kings 1

Throughout the Bible, fire is often synonymous with God's presence. In this passage, we read of God sending fire on some people in judgment, while not sending it on others. Listen and hear how the Gospel transforms the fire of God from something consuming into something redemptive.
