1 Kings 19 tells us how God met Elijah at his lowest point. From this story we learn four principles that will help us when we feel like running away and giving up.
We are fully justified in asking God to work miracles on behalf of our loved ones. But God doesn’t limit himself to our understanding of what our loved ones need most. He is fully able to do spectacular miracles today just as he did in Bible times. But more often he gives strength to the weary and courage to the fainting and hope to those who feel like giving up. God’s miracles come in more than one variety, a truth we can experience every day.
Several weeks ago Ray and Marlene Pritchard led a question and answer session at Cannon Beach Conference Center in Oregon. Questions ranged from predestination to prayer to humility to Bible prophecy and what is at stake in the current presidential election.
Elijah’s story teaches us that sometimes God sets us aside for a period in order to prepare us for greater work in the future. When we finally graduate from “Dry Brook University,” we are ready for bigger challenges and new adventures.
In this radio interview Ray Pritchard discusses “The Bible and Money” with Tim Wildmon and Marvin Sanders. The program also includes calls from listeners.
Almost four years ago Ray and Marlene Pritchard began to pray, “Lord, do things we’re not used to.” This message tells how God answered that prayer by redirecting their steps in some amazing ways.
What will be the world be like as we approach the Last Days before the coming of Christ? In this message we learn that it will be the best of times and the worst of times. We will see evil unleashed in new ways, and we will see multitudes coming to Christ. Instead of living in fear, Christians should be bold as we wait for the coming of the Lord.
Using the war on terror as a backdrop, this sermon explains how Satan attacks us asymmetrically. He works the angles and uses many small attacks in order to bring us down. Unless we understand Satan’s strategy, we will be defeated over and over again. The good news is that in Jesus Christ, we have everything we need to fight and win our spiritual battles.
In this message, Ray Pritchard talks about the five character qualities that relate to a man and his anger. When our power is not under God’s control, we hurt ourselves and those closest to us. We need God’s help so that we might become like Jesus who was both gentle and strong, a true “gentle man.”
