No wonder Elijah is the kind of man we admire. Isn’t it exciting to know we serve the same God he served? Isn’t it thrilling to think we can trust the same God he trusted? And what kind of God is that? He’s the God who makes promises and keeps them.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

The contrast is stunning. And the response was immediate: It was a consuming fire . . . and it was convincing.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

It is amazing to me how people will break God’s commandments over and over again. They will resist His loving warnings that He issues to them and then when hardship or calamity hits, usually of their own making, they get mad at God. They bring the...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

Is He able? Get serious! I’m referring to “the God of impossibilities,” the One who has limitless power, who has never—and will never—meet an intimidating obstacle He cannot overcome, an aggressive enemy He cannot overwhelm, a final decision He cannot...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

Anyone who would be used of God as mightily as Elijah would be in the years ahead must first face the advanced training course. For Elijah, this was Zarephath.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

The Lord usually leads His faithful people a step at a time as they tune their hearts to His Word. God didn’t give Elijah a three-year schedule to follow. Instead, He directed his servant at each critical juncture in his journey, and Elijah obeyed by...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

You need to know that God will always raise up someone to speak the truth when things are dark. The Bible says, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against Him.” That man was going to be Elijah.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

They did not understand it; even John himself did not until then. The rest of the disciples had never put that interpretation upon our Lord’s words which was the clear and simple meaning of them, namely, that he would rise from the dead. I should not...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

We must keep in mind that what our Lord accomplished on the cross was an eternal transaction that involved Him and the Father. He did not die as a martyr who had failed in a lost cause. Nor was He only an example for people to follow. Isaiah 53 makes...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

To us the tower may also picture fallen man’s ceaseless effort to reach heaven by his own works instead of receiving salvation as a free gift of grace.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

The idea here is not that God momentarily forgot about Noah, but rather that even though Noah was in the dark, bouncing around in the ark, God remembered him constantly.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

Many today sense a storm is coming. Some dismiss it, others prepare and enter the ark. Which one are you?توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

On one occasion the Lord’s disciples came to Him with this question. “What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus said in Matthew 24, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

There are a number of striking parallels between Noah’s time and our time. Though his story is years old yet he was living in his last days if you will. He was living in a time right before judgment came in the form of a flood. And we are living in...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

In love and mercy God searched after His fallen creatures with the question “Where are you?” This question proved two things—that man was lost and that God had come to seek. It proved man’s sin and God’s grace. God takes the initiative in salvation...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz

How can we do it? Our Lord says, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel and make disciples.” It is such a big world. The answer to that is maybe the answer to the question how do you eat an elephant. The answer to that is one bite at a time. How...توسط Pastor Eric Bentz
