A Nation’s Test
The moral decline of a nation can be traced back to its religious beliefs. Pagan societies have come and gone. Rome, at one time an invincible force, crumbled from within because of moral decay. Countless individuals with godly moral values think their opinions do not count for much. However, they are very wrong. How does a nation – America or any other – become spiritually torn and tattered? It is simple; the people who are the very heart of any country’s life give up and give in to mounting pressure to compromise what they know is right. In real life, a very small percentage of people want certain godless statutes installed. Yet if a nation’s majority wavers in confusion, more than likely these issues will face little debate. We must stand for what we believe, asking God for His direction morally and spiritually. Charles Stanley
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Two men working in a factory were talking. "I know how to get some time off," said one. "How are you going to do that?" "Watch," he said, and climbed up on a rafter. The foreman asked what he was doing up there, and the man replied. "I'm a light bulb." "I think you need some time off," the foreman said, and the first man walked out of the factory. After a moment, the second man followed him. "Where do you think you're going?" the foreman shouted. "I can't work in the dark," he said.

A man walks into a shoe store, and tries on a pair of shoes. "How do they feel?" asks the sales clerk. "Well they feel a bit tight," replies the man.

The Life of Elisha: II Kings 4 The Widow’s Oil
A widow of one of the sons of the prophets was in debt and her two sons about to be taken from her and sold by her creditors, as by law they had power to do (Lev. 25:39). She implored the prophet’s assistance. Inquiring into her circumstances he learned that she had nothing but a pot of oil. This Elisha caused (In his absence, II Kings 4:5) to multiply until the widow had filled with it all the vessels she could borrow.

The Life of Elisha II Kings 3
Jehoram, king of Israel, and the kings of Judah and Edom were united in a campaign against Moab to suppress a revolt that occurred shortly after the death of Ahab. A difficulty arose from the lack of water. Elisha requested a musician to be brought, and at the sound of the music God came upon him. He ordered pits to be dug to hold the abundant supply of water which he prophesied would be given them.

Do You Believe in Miracles? The Evidence for God
Science is an impersonal observer, only reviewing results. Nature cannot cause anything like God; it merely behaves in a consistent pattern. However, even in nature the laws are sometimes misunderstood or altered. We loosely use the word to mean anything unusual or unexpected. But in connection with Christianity, we mean “an act of God breaking into, changing, or interrupting the ordinary course of things.”

To Protect and Serve: My partner and I were in our police car when we were dispatched to break up a domestic dispute. We spoke with the couple, and the problem was quickly resolved. On leaving, I was admiring the craftsmanship of their turn-of-the-century home and reached for what I thought was the front door. Realizing my mistake, I was turning away in embarrassment when I heard my partner say, "If you have any more problems, we'll be in your closet."

The Life of Elisha: II Kings 2-3 – Beginning his ministry
After Elijah’s ascension he lived at Jericho. The town was a residence of a body of the “sons of the prophets.” While there he was waited upon by the citizens who complained to him of the foulness of its waters. He remedied the evil by casting salt into the water at its source, in the name of Jehovah. Leaving Jericho he went to Bethel and upon nearing was met by a number of children who mockingly cried, “Go up, thou baldhead.” This dishonor to God through his prophet was sternly rebuked by Elisha, and “two she-bears came out of the woods and tore 42 of them.

The Life of Elisha: His Character and Beginnings: Chariots of Fire and Parting the Waters
II Kings 2, Elijah’s Ascension: There is no more mention of Elijah after his calling until he accompanied Elijah to the other side of Jordan, witnessed there his ascension, and with his fallen mantle parted the waters and was welcomed by the sons of the prophets as the successor of Elijah (II Kings 2:1-16).
Today’s Sermon
The God Who is There: The Existence of God
We have studied the God of love, the God of truth, and the God of communication (The Word of God), but is there a God at all? Is being a Christian rational? Do the facts of science have to be ignored in order to believe in God? If we cannot answer the fundamental question of the existence of God, how can we say our faith is real? Does God even exist at all?
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. Romans 1:19-20

The Life of Elisha
His Character and Beginnings: Playing Second Fiddle
Elisha was a farmer; he was plowing with a number of companions, himself with the 12th plow. Elijah, on his way from Horeb to Damascus, found Elisha, and threw upon his shoulders his mantle – a token of investiture with the prophet’s office and of adoption as a son. Elisha accepted the call, and delaying only long enough to kiss his father and mothers and give a farewell feast to his people “arose and went after Elijah and ministered unto him” (I Kings 19:19-21). This was appx. 856BC.

His Character and Beginnings: Playing Second Fiddle
Elisha was a farmer; he was plowing with a number of companions, himself with the 12th plow. Elijah, on his way from Horeb to Damascus, found Elisha, and threw upon his shoulders his mantle – a token of investiture with the prophet’s office and of adoption as a son. Elisha accepted the call, and delaying only long enough to kiss his father and mothers and give a farewell feast to his people “arose and went after Elijah and ministered unto him” (I Kings 19:19-21). This was appx. 856BC.
Today’s Sermon
The Word of God Psalm 147
So God ministers His Word continuously. The creation gets no rest from the attention and exertions of the Word of God. He ministers it comprehensively. All of creation is the object of His ministry. And He ministers His Word constructively, with a view, especially, of building His Church to the measure of the statue of the fullness of Jesus Christ

Scripture Reading
Psalm 147:3-7
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. The LORD lifteth up the meek: He casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Joe's wife likes to sing so she decided to join the church choir. From time to time she would practice while she was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Whenever she would start in on a song, Joe would head outside to the porch. His wife, with hurt feelings, said, "What's the matter, Joe? Don't you like my singing?" Joe replied, "Honey, I love your singing, but I just want to make sure the neighbors know I'm not beating you."
Two men were fishing on a lake, feeling guilty that it was a Sunday morning and they were not attending church, and the fish were not biting. The first guy eventually says: "I should have stayed home and gone to church." To which the other angler replied: "I couldn't have gone to church, anyhow. My wife is sick in bed."

Today’s Sermon
The God of Truth: I John 4:1-6
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
