Pitch Your Tent in the Land of Hope

Becoming a Christian means, metaphorically speaking, we pitch our tent in the land of hope. We live in constant hope because no matter what comes our way, if we are obedient to the LORD and we truly believe in His word, we know that ‘… in all things God works for the good of those who love Him’. (Romans 8:28)

Love

God’s love calls out to you to follow Him. Like a mother whose child has strayed in a crowd of people, Jesus calls, ‘Come, come to Me! Look for Me and you will find Me. Follow Me, I know the way, My love will show you the way!’  

The Bubble Monster

We can become very dull and spiritually boring if we don’t expose ourselves regularly to God’s awesome presence. True joy is ours for the taking.

There is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower

Elijah was persistent in prayer, the widow (in Luke 18:1-8) was persistent in prayer. Are you persistent? Our faith keeps us persisting! Because YOU KNOW, that you know, that you know, that GOD is going to come through. Until you have a very clear sign from God that you must stop praying. You keep on persisting. You keep on believing that there is “…the sound of the roar of a heavy shower…”.

Obadiah

Obadiah, in 1 Kings 18, lived his name. His name meant – serving God. Obadiah truly served God despite being surrounded by evil.

Needs Met

As scary and unattractive this world may seem, God hasn’t called us to leave this world, but to shine His light no matter how dark times may become. I searched the scriptures for a spiritual role model facing similar adversities as the church is facing today. I found one! Elijah. Please enjoy and learn from this first sermon in a series concerning him.
