This week we are still looking at the life of Elijah but he is not the main focus this week. This week we are going to spend more time with Ahab, the king of Israel during Elijah's ministry. Our time with Ahab is going to show us more of God's character, particularly His grace and mercy. When we see Ahab's response to God's grace and mercy it should cause us to examine how we have responded to the grace and mercy of Jesus. We must decide, what we will do with the grace and mercy extended to us by Jesus.

This week we continue our look into the life of Elijah and we are in 1Kings 19. After Elijah's epic confrontation with the prophets of Baal the transformation of the nation he was hoping for doesn't happen. He flees for his life discouraged and tired. Last week we saw the immense power of God and this week we see the immanence of God. God demonstrates His kindness to Elijah and in helping him work through the discouragement and hurt that he is feeling. God meets us in our weakness and displays His power by sustaining and upholding us. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged by the service this morning.

This morning we are in our second week of our series Chariots of Fire. This week we are in 1 Kings 18, and we are about to see one of the most epic confrontations in the Bible. Elijah, a prophet of God, is going to go head to head with 450 prophets of Baal. He challenges them to see whose God is the real God, knowing that his God is the only true God. His challenge to the people is still a powerful challenge to us today "If the Lord is God, follow Him!"

This morning our message comes from the book of Isaiah chapter 54. This Sunday I want to share the vision that God has given to myself and the elders for 2025. To do that we are going to look at Isaiah 54, and examine the life of one of the most famous missionaries ever, William Carey. My hope for the vision of Pathway in 2025 is that we would "Expect great things from God; (and) attempt great things for God"

Our message this morning will be from Ephesians 6. When we are given our New Self through the blood of Jesus Christ we have learned over the past couple of weeks that our lives, identity, and roles cannot be the same. As Paul closes his letter to the Ephesians hr gives them one final exhortation to fight, because they are in a spiritual battle. God has equipped them for this fight, He has given them His armor. He has also given that armor to us. We need to understand that just like the Ephesian church we are in a spiritual battle and we too need the armor of God. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged by the service this morning.

Our message this morning will be from Ephesians 5:22-6:9. When we are given our New Self through the blood of Jesus Christ we have learned over the past couple of weeks that our lives and identity cannot be the same. With that new life in Jesus comes new roles as well. We are more fully able to live the life that our Heavenly Father has called us to when we live within the roles He has designed for us. Our new roles enable us to live in healthy relationship with others. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged by the service this morning.

Our message this morning will be from Ephesians 5:1-21. Our new life in Jesus Christ means that He gives us a new identity. We will be studying part of our new identity which is we are children of God. Ephesians 5 explains to us how we can walk in wisdom as children of light. Come listen with us and understand how you can have a new identity in Jesus and how that new identity will change your life. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged by the service this morning.

Our message this morning will be from Ephesians 4:1-6. Paul is calling the Ephesian church to walk worthy of their calling and to pursue unity in the Spirit. He does this by reminding them of the one, unifying message of Scripture. There is amazing power in the unity of the message of Scripture. Are we pursuing and experiencing the unity of the ONE message of Scripture?

Our final message in the book of Isaiah. We are in Isaiah 66, where in the beginning of the chapter we see a contrast between the type of person that God seeks to dwell with and one who chooses their own ways. The questions for us are, which will we choose to be? And what do the lives of these people look like?

Good morning! We are thankful that you decided to join us in worship virtually. This morning we will be studying Isaiah 40. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful and encouraging passages in the Bible. What it speaks to is how awesome our God is, and what we see is that not only is He awesome, He is completely without comparison. There is no one or nothing that can take the place of God in our lives. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged by the service this morning.

Our message this morning is from Isaiah 36 &37. We are going to be looking at a battle that never happened between the Assyrians and the city of Jerusalem. The reason the battle never happened, was because God fought the battle for His people. The Assyrians were arrogant and believed nothing would stop them, but our God is stronger than any physical army this world has. That is where when can place our trust in the midst of our battles.

Our message this morning is from Isaiah 30, where the example of Judah and Israel will show us what happens when we decide to follow our own plans instead of God's. In our own lives we can easily make our plans apart from God, what we see from God's people is that any plans made apart from God are bad plans.

Good morning! Kate Perkins, one of our missionaries, is here to share an update on her ministry. Kate is a missionary with YWAM (Youth with a Mission) and she has been serving for the last several as the leader of Phos house in Madison Wisconsin. God has been doing some amazing things in Kate's ministry, and she has some exciting new things on the horizon that she will be sharing with us this morning.

Good morning! Today we are studying chapters 25 and 25 of the book of Isaiah. These two chapters are one of the few sections in Isaiah where he writes in poetry to his audience. It is important for us to know how to read and understand Biblical poetry. Isaiah is going to use poetry here to communicate a deeper understanding of practical truths about God and His character.

This morning we are continuing our study of the book of Isaiah. We are going to be unpacking chapters 13-24 today. These chapters are filled with prophecies for different nations that are active at the time of Isaiah. We are going to look at these prophecies this morning and you will notice a theme of pride, arrogance, and trust in the wrong things. These chapters should serve as a warning for things that we need to watch out for in our own lives.

This morning our message is from Isaiah chapter 11. The theme for our entire series is "God's Restoration Promises." And this morning we will see that restoration is promised through the coming of the Messiah. Jesus is restoring lives today through His deaths burial and resurrection. We are going to explore all the restoration themes from Isaiah 11 together.

Good morning! This morning our message is from Isaiah chapters 2-4. Isaiah 2-4 talks about what is to come in the future not just for Judah and the nation of Israel but for all of us. It is important to keep our eyes on what is to come because we want to live expectant lives. We want to live like Jesus is coming back, it will help us to be bold for the gospel. We have hope for the future.

We are starting into a series in Isaiah called God's restoration promises. We are going to dive into the background of Isaiah this morning, and also talk about how chapter 1 of Isaiah really sets the table for the rest of the book. Judah & Israel are nations living in rebellion to God and yet there is hope for these sinful nations because of the grace of God.

Happy Easter Sunday! He is risen indeed! On this Easter Sunday our passage will be Matthew 12:38-42. Jesus is responding to a request from the religious leaders. He is telling them that He will give them the sign of Jonah, and that something greater is with them. Do you see that something greater is available to you, through the resurrection of Jesus.
