Elijah 6: Elijah’s Finest Hour

Elijah 6: Elijah's Finest Hour

It’s the big showdown for Elijah! Today in our series looking at the life of this famous Old Testament prophet, we’re looking at 1 Kings 18:16-40 – Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. With odds of 850 to 1, it doesn’t seem to be a very fair fight…

Elijah 4: Boiling Prayers

We’re in the middle of a teaching series on the life of the prophet Elijah. Elijah has been staying with a widow in the town of Zarephath, where last week we saw God miraculously providing for them. But today as we reach 1 Kings 17:17-24, it seems like everything goes wrong again.

Elijah 1: Standing in the Gap

Elijah 1: Standing in the Gap

We’re starting a new teaching series on the life of one of the most colourful, provocative, charismatic characters in the whole of the Bible – the prophet Elijah. He’s an extraordinarily enigmatic figure, and yet is at the same time profoundly human – full of very normal human doubts and fears and emotions. But whatever [ more… ]

How big is your vision?

How big is your vision?

How big are your dreams? Not the stripy giraffe flying through the window sort of dream after eating too much cheese, but the sort of dreams you have about your future, or what God might use you to do in his Kingdom.

Songs of Christmas: Simeon’s Song

Songs of Christmas: Simeon's Song
