After confronting King Ahab, Elijah endures a series of trials where the provision of God is put of full display.

Tonight we meet Elijah, called by God to confront King Ahab.  The question the Israelites (and us) will ultimately need to wrestle with is Who Rules?  Who Rules our life?  Do we turn to God in faith or will we continue trusting in the ways of this world.  

Peter tells in 2 Peter 1 that the realities of Christianity are not cleverly devised myths, but confirmed by those who were eyewitnesses of Jesus himself.  Not only were there eyewitnesses, but their written testimony confirms Old Testament prophecies that have been preserved for us through the Word of God.

1 Peter 2 identifies the realities of what it means to be a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for God's possession.  Our identity in Christ is the foundation for these realities as Peter makes clear in 1 Peter 2:1-12.

While this life is filled with trials and tribulations, God has entrusted us with a living hope.  While its reality is currently felt in this life, we still long for the final fulfillment of that hope.  1 Peter 1:1-12 encourages us to see the eternal inheritance that is ours through Christ - our living hope!

Prayer is one of the great privileges we have as followers of Christ.  Yet how often we neglect and overlook this gift of God.  With simplicity and clarity, James 5:13-20  leads us to see both the privilege and duty that we have in prayer.

James contrasts two types of wisdom - one earthly, one heavenly that play a significant role in our lives and relationships.  In this message we consider the destructive ends of earthly wisdom and peaceful fruit that accompanies the wisdom from above. 

James warns us about the power of words and calls us to guard our speech.  It's easy to overlook the damage our words can do and to neglect to use our speech to build others up. 

James 2 warns us that faith without works is dead.  Tonight we consider the relationship between faith and good works as we are called to live faithfully.

Afflictions, hardships, and trials are facts of life for believers and unbelievers alike.  Living faithfully, even joyfully, in the midst of these trials requires godly wisdom that only god can provide.  

Jude exhorts us to continue growing in our faith even as the world around us seems to be sliding further and further away.  Living faithfully in these times requires us to be ever aware of the opportunity to share the Gospel while guarding ourselves from the destructive patterns of sin.

Whether our life is in a period of transition or things are stable, we need to seek the presence of God in all that we do.  Moses refuses to move forward without God's faithful presence and we need to exercise that same faith.

How quickly the Israelites abandon their covenant promises and worship a golden calf.  Yet we find our hearts are too easily lured to worship the created rather than the creator.

God uses covenant ceremonies to establish His relationship with his people.  Exodus 24 shows us the reality that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgivness.  

God's promise to deliver the Israelites by driving out their enemies, presents a problem for many believers.  We'll explore the justice and mercy of God as it pertains to the Canaanites.

This week we consider how the law of God applies to our lives as followers of Christ.

Like God's people in the wilderness, we can easily find ourselves discontent with life and grumbling about the circumstances in which we find ourselves.  

In Exodus 14 God dramatically rescues His people by parting the Red Sea and destroying the Egyptian army.  We'll consider how these realities foreshadow Jesus' redemption of His people from their bondage to sin.

In this sermon we see the reality of God's judgment brought to bear on Pharaoh, mercy to the Israelites and the future hope of Christ our passover lamb.

Today we dive in on one of the Ten Plagues God sent to Pharaoh - the Plague of Frogs.
