Where is your faith? Is it just knowledge or is it something that you are putting into practice? Pastor Cameron Cloud shares truths, from John 11:17-27, of how Jesus works in the life of Martha, Lazarus’ sister. Jesus refocuses Martha’s faith from an event, and what God can do for her, to who Jesus is. No matter where you are in your faith journey, God is at work in your life.

Every life is shaped by the question, “Will I sit on the throne of my life, or will I kneel at the altar of God?” Pastor Cameron shares from 1 Kings 21-22 the contrast between the altar and the throne, between God’s way and our way. Is your life based on a fragile earthly throne, or is it based on an eternal heavenly altar?

The Bible is clear about the truth that God is everywhere. He is omnipresent. He is in all places at all times. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares from 1 Kings 20 this key truth that is emphasized and repeated in this passage giving two clear applications that should change the way we live.

Where are those who will step forward and say, “Just as Elisha was called to follow Elijah, I know that I am called to follow Christ.” God calls each one of us in some form or fashion to be an Elisha. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares, from 1 Kings 19:19-21, what being an Elisha requires. By God’s grace, we can take up the mantle and become an Elisha.

It is not uncommon in our Christian life, after we have great spiritual highs, for us to experience some of the lowest times of our lives. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares three things that Elijah experiences in 1 Kings 19, that we can experience when we are at our lowest. The God we see in the spiritual highs is also the God we see in the lows.

How burdened are you for the lost? Pastor Kevin Bell shares from Matthew 11:28-30 what needs to happen in our lives before our heart is broken enough to get revived to reach the lost. God will open our hearts and open our schedules to use us to tell others about Him.

We all need revival. Pastor Cameron Cloud preaches on the heart of revival from 1 Kings 18. There are three characters in this chapter, Ahab, Obadiah, and Elijah, and every individual is represented by one of them. Which one describes you? Where is your heart? Revival will only happen when we turn our hearts back to God.

We live in a time of darkness, but God is still at work. In 1 Kings 16-17, the nation of Israel was in a time of darkness, but God was still at work. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares the one spark of light that we see from Elijah and three things that are essential for us if we are going to be a light in a dark world today.

All of us are going to leave behind a legacy when we are gone. What kind of legacy will you leave? Pastor Cameron Cloud shares several truths, from 1 Kings 15:1-8, about a spiritual legacy. The greatest legacy we can leave behind is the evidence of God’s grace at work in our lives.

Often because our perspective is wrong, we can miss what God is doing, we can miss His work in our lives and in what is taking place around us. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares from 1 Kings 12-14, that even in the darkest of times, as was the case with Rehoboam, God is still at work. Trust Him!

We live in a time of great crisis. The greatest challenge in our nation is a spiritual crisis. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares from 1 Kings 11:4-10. Solomon’s reign began with great promise, but his final years are a cautionary tale to a nation, to a church, to a family, to an individual. Instead of having our hearts turned away from God like Solomon, we must have our hearts inclined toward Him and seek Him above all else.

People like to talk about who is the strongest, the wisest, the wealthiest, the greatest. When David passed the kingdom to his son, Solomon was the greatest that the world had to offer. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares from 1 Kings 3:5-15. Solomon points us to a greater King, Jesus Christ. The world will offer you many things, but Jesus is greater than anything the world has to offer!

There are few things in this life that balance blessing and burden more than parenting. Parenting is difficult. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares from the life of David, 1 Kings, 2:10-12. David was not a perfect parent, but his example as a father is a message to all of us. What we see imperfectly in David, we see perfectly in God.

As you enter a new year, who will you serve? Will you serve yourself, or will you serve God? Pastor Cameron Cloud shares truths from 1 Kings 2. 1 Kings is a book of division. One group followed God’s way, the other group followed man’s way. We will not succeed this year unless we make the choice daily to worship, obey, and serve God.

We celebrate Jesus coming in the flesh. Pastor Cameron Cloud shares from Matthew 1and 2 which includes several verses from the Old Testament. These verses include prophecies which were fulfilled, pointing to a child, a son, a Christ, a Messiah, born in flesh like us. We celebrate Jesus Christ, the Child of Promise.
