A new King, Ahaziah. A time for a new direction, a fresh start, a clean slate, right? Wrong. This newly crowned royal comes with the same old baggage. Another generation from Solomon's compromise to Omri, Ahab, and now Ahaziah. What happens when the new King is injured? Will he reflect on the God of Israel or will he continue in the string of idolatry?  Are you able to see how idolatry is prevalen...  Read More

Dear CCW Kids families, One of Scripture’s most prominent warnings against false motives comes to us in Acts 5: the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Amid the church’s unity and generosity in the previous chapter, the husband and wife’s scheme stands in stark contrast. Though this couple sought to appear generous before others, the Holy Spirit unveiled their treachery so that the church could remain ...  Read More

What hill are you willing to die on? Are there principles that you will fight for against any odds? In 1 Kings 21 we find wicked Ahab with a presumptuous offer of trade or money for Naboth's Vineyard. The problem that ensues is that this was not a mere possession, but for Naboth's family it was inheritance and it was his legacy.  Proverbs 22:1 tells us “a good name is to be chosen rather than grea...  Read More

"That was the last straw."  "I've had as much as I can handle.""I'm at the end of the rope."Have you ever felt what these phrases convey? In 1 Kings 19, Elijah, the mighty prophet of God gets to that point. He is on the run - running from Jezebel, running from God, and running on empty. I love this passage because if Elijah can get to that point it encourages all of us when circumstances are drain...  Read More

Have you ever gone through a dry time physically, emotionally, or spiritually? Elijah, Ahab, and all of Israel had been 42 months without a droplet of rain, but why?  Deuteronomy 11:16-17 explains it clearly, "If you turn away to other gods, The Lord's anger will be kindled and he will shut up the Heavens so that it will not rain." Talk about dry.   I've grown up in church and can't remember a tim...  Read More
