Heaven Can't Wait

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours.  He wasn't Superman.  In fact, he was a nobody, living on the backside of nowhere ... but he was willing to confront wicked King Ahab.  He was faithful to speak up and stand up for the LORD his God.  What was His secret?  How did He do it?  Where did he get the boldness?  Find out how you can be "Faithful to Stand" in the dark days in which we live.           

What do you do when you feel you are in the middle of God's will but the bottom drops out? How are you supposed to handle your brook running dry?  We get the answer from the life of Elijah. When he waited on God's provision and obeyed His voice, He saw God work miracles through his dry brook.  You can, too!  

Elijah asked the penetrating question, "How long will you hesitate between two opinions?  If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him" (1 Kings 18:21). So many people today live the same way as the people did in Elijah's day. They are riding the fence of indecision and compromise. It is time to get off the fence! The battle at Mount Carmel proved the LORD is God ... and it is time to follow Him with all our hearts.  

Do you know the secret to answered prayer? Elijah certainly did.  He prayed that it would not rain, and it didn’t for 3.5 years!  Then he prayed it would rain … and it did!  Elijah’s heart was right, and his life was aligned with God and His word.  As a result, he saw answers to his prayers.  In this revealing and uplifting message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, you’ll learn how to experience answered prayer in your own life.  

Depression.  It can come upon anyone, even a powerful prophet like Elijah.  What causes depression and how can we combat it?  In this message of hope from Pastor Jeff Schreve, you’ll learn how to pinpoint the probable cause of your depression and how to get your eyes off yourself and your problems and escape the cave of depression.

God sees everything we say, do, and think. He has great patience with our sinfulness and selfish independence, but His patience is not without limits.  King Ahab and Jezebel serve as warnings to us all that “the wages of sin is death.”  If you follow in their footsteps and make friends with sin, you will experience the devastation that sin brings.

Like King Ahaziah, have you done evil in the sight of the LORD? Have problems resulted because of it?  God will use problems to get our attention and show us our need for Him.  But many will continue in their unbelief.  In this lesson, Pastor Jeff Schreve will reveal the truth about the judgment to come for those who continually slap God in His face by loving their sin and rejecting His will.  Abundant grace is available for those who repent.
