Days of Elijah
1 Kings 19:1-8
Care for the Soul
The Sabbath
Lost passion
Scripture Series: Days of Elijah
Scripture Title: Fear and Flight
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 19:1-8 “Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.”

Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Series: Days of Elijah
Scripture Title: Back to Life
Scripture Reading: 1 Kings‬ ‭17‬:‭17‬-‭24‬ ‭
“Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?” “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. Then he cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?” Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, let this boy’s life return to him!” The Lord heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived. Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive!” Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord from your mouth is the truth.””

“God's Provision” Sermon. Spiritual Refreshment. Sunday, 9/21/2025.

Developing Friendships
Words of Encouragement
Spiritual Refreshment
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Series: Days of Elijah
Scripture Title: God’s Provision
Our Scripture is about running out of resources and God’s provision for those of us who are on empty. God’s resources are unlimited. If you are running on empty emotionally or you’re spiritually flat or you’re just burned out, trust God and ask Him for help and He will give you what you need to keep going. The place where we can go for refreshment immediately is God’s house. Worshipping together with brothers and sisters in Christ provides immediate spiritual refreshment and renewal. We are refreshed by the Word of God and by the worship, prayer and fellowship with our fellow believers. As we gather, God wants us to connect with friends in Christ who will be an encouragement to one another and can help refill our spiritual tanks.

“Elijah and God's Judgment” Sermon. Sunday, 9/14/2025.

Charlie Kirk
Freedom of speech
Living in different days
Time with nature
Turning Point
King Ahab
Speak truth into our culture
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Series: Days of Elijah
Sermon Series: Elijah and God's Judgment
Sermon Summary: Just as God sent the prophet Elijah to pronounce God’s judgement against Israel for their evil and wickedness, God calls Christians to speak truth even if it goes against the current of culture. Charlie Kirk’s assassination shows us that we need to pray for our Nation and call out evil even when it’s being celebrated in our culture. Christians have to humbly be the truth tellers when all around you are lies. It may be costly and you will likely experience pushback or persecution from this world. But put your trust in the Lord. God will provide for you when you are faithful to Him.

Sermon Series: A Rotten Ruler
Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 16:29-34
"In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him. In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun.”

Scripture Title: Babylon
Scripture Reading: Revelation 17:1-6
“One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. The name written on her forehead was a mystery: Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.”

“The Beast Out of the Earth” Sermon. Sunday, 8/24/25.

Symbols of the End Times
A Cashless Society
The False Prophet
Pastor Greg Wiest.
Scripture Series: Apocalypse, Symbols of the End Times
Scripture Title: The Beast Out of the Earth
Scripture Reading: Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭11‬-‭18‬
“Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.”

“The Beast Out of the Sea” Sermon. Sunday, 8/17/25.

God in the Flesh
The sea of Humanity
Rider on the white horse
Spotter cards
Daniel 7
Pastor Greg Wiest.
Scripture Series: Apocalypse, Symbols of the End Times
Scripture Title: The Beast Out of the Sea
Scripture Reading: Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭10‬
“The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. Whoever has ears, let them hear. “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.” This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.”
