SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (ELIJAH - 2)

main image

When the world around us seems to be spinning out of control... Where do we turn? What's the best way to respond? (Or better yet...) HOW DO WE DO IT RIGHT? (Well) There just so happens to be an OT Prophet named ELIJAH - who lived in some pretty Perilous Times like we may feel we are living in today! ELIJAH is best remembered for his Bold Dealings with some pretty Wicked Rulers and False Prophets in his day and age! (However…) He’s also known for the fact that he often dealt with many of those PROBLEMS much like the rest of us often do! Several times he failed to see God’s Handas the ONE IN CONTROL! (Nonetheless…) Unlike many of us… he still found a way to TRUST GOD even though he did not always UNDERSTAND GOD! I hope you'll take time the last two weeks of this series and come have a listen - as we try and learn a Lesson or Two from ELIJAH... lessons on HOW TO DEAL WITH THE TRIALS LIFE the Right Way!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (2) WHICH GOD DO YOU SERVE?

 

FALSE GODS PROMISE WHAT ONLY THE ONE TRUE GOD PROVIDES!

 

God wants to have ALL of our HeartsALL of our WorshipALL of our Focus… and ALL of our Adoration! (Period.)

 

What might be some “false gods” that you are serving?

 

(Be Careful!) You can do many things in the NAME OF GOD all while it becomes your "god!"

 

Elijah's Message THEN and NOW on top of MtCarmel... "If Jesus Christ - the Son of God - IS the ONE TRUE GOD… then QUIT WAVERING! Don’t just Claim Him and then LIVE AS IF HE DOESN’T EXIST!”

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a / 10:45a)

I hope you'll take time these next few weeks as we try and learn a Lesson or Two from ELIJAH... lessons on HOW TO DEAL WITH THE TRIALS LIFE the Right Way!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (1) THE MAKING OF A MAN OF GOD!

 

God wants to do a work IN you before He can do a work THROUGH you!

(Have you ever been In/To the KERITH RAVINE?)

 

God's Three Seasons of Preparatory Work IN Elijah...

1. Isolated Pain
2. Total Dependence
3. Obedience

 

(A.W. Tozer) “It’s DOUBTFUL that GOD can BLESS A MAN GREATLY until HE’S HURT HIM DEEPLY!

 

God works in Mysterious Ways... He will often GUIDE by what He doesn't PROVIDE!
