Evening Sermon - 3rd May 2026 - The Word of Power in 1 Kings 20

Episode description

This evening's sermon is delivered by Rev. George Speers.

In this second sermon in a series on 1 Kings 20, the Reverend George Speers examines the Syrian army's mistaken belief that Israel's God was merely 'a God of the hills' and traces three lessons from the text: the folly of a limited God, the sufficiency of a sovereign God, and the purpose of divine demonstration. Drawing on figures from J. B. Phillips and Stephen Charnock to Spurgeon and Calvin, Rev Speers challenges listeners to stop shrinking God down to fit their own circumstances and to trust his sufficient power in every trial. The sermon closes with a direct gospel appeal, urging those without faith to lay down their arms and trust in Christ's victory over sin and death.
