"The world's randomness is God's planned intention." King Ahab has decided to go to battle against God's plan, therefore, he' told by the prophet that his life will be taken in the process. However, Ahab is smarter than God! Oh yes, he plans to disguise himself in battle as just another man and then he'll be safe, right? No, a Syrian pulled back a bow at random and struck Ahab that he died. How foolish of Ahab to think he could hide from God! .....have we ever done that? .....we know God's design for 'this' or 'that' and we know that consequence for not handling it the right way, then why do we try to "beat the system". 
 
One of the most basis sins that we face is hiding from or trying to deceive God. Adam and Even tried it, Jonah tried it, we've tried it. "If we confess with our mouths....."

Doesn't it seem like the world often tries to frame the Christians as the trouble-makers? "Those Christians are always trying to shove their religion down your throat"! "Those Christians are trying to take away women's 'reproductive rights'"! This very direct message from God's Word is the showdown between Elijah and King Ahab, in which Ahab point-blank pins Israel's troubles on Elijah. In God's powerful clarity he points out that the trouble, in any given situation, is caused by the one who has forsaken God's commandments! 
 
Plus this lesson includes the famous message, so timely for today, that Elijah delivers declaring, 'how long will we halt between two opinions, If God is god serve Him, but if something else is god then serve it." When was the last time you found yourself putting something as a higher priority than the thing that you know God wanted you to do? Is God's desire for you always your priority? Jesus so much desires to bless us if we'll only seek to glorify and elevate Him in ALL that we do!

1 Kings 18:1-40 - Calvary Chapel Downeast - Pastor Will Cass

Isn't is interesting how we can get so caught up is some real fine details about life that won't really matter in 20, 50 or 40 years? For instance that one hair that was out of place or needed plucked that we spend way too much time dealing with! This message in I Kings is a great reminder how God looks down at us and summarizes a life in a sentence or two! Wow! For some of Israel's kings God remarks that they did that which was right, except they removed not the high places. Let's just take the direct reference for a minute. The high places were places of sexual sin. Consider yourself, then others, let's not be the ones who fall for this common problem set before us! 
 
Plus, in this message, King Asa is ready to serve the Lord even if it means removing the Queen of the land...his own Mother. He begins a walk of faith and is later faced with the challenge of an army rising against him. Will he continue in faith or turn his trust over to mere men to help him?

1 Kings 15:1-32 - Calvary Chapel Downeast - Pastor Will Cass

When you are with the Lord in personal time or at church, what makes it meaningful? Forget all the peripherals and religious rituals, if we can walk away knowing that we've heard the truth from the Lord, then it was meaningful. In this message, we'll be challenged to drop the pretense and false images we present of ourselves in order to accept what the Lord wants to say to us. God can see who we really are. We may want to go where God is leading or He may just drag us that direction anyway...remember Jonah? 
 
Plus, this lesson will teach us about the High Places and groves that the Divided Kingdom of Israel started using to worship false gods. It seems so horrible that God's people, Israel, became entangled in such horrible sexual idolatry and false religion. Wait. That sounds just like...America. Let's learn the lesson of how to flourish for the Lord though surrounded by such sins.

1 Kings 13:34 - 14:31 - Calvary Chapel Downeast - Pastor Will Cass

This fascinating study looks at the very beginning of the Divided Kingdom, just after the death of King Solomon.  Israel's new king in the north, King Jeroboam, and Judah's new king in the south, King Rehoboam, each have the opportunity to become ice or concrete.  Let me explain.  If you put new ice and new concrete outside under the same sun, it will affect them in totally different ways.  To one heart the Sun of God will come down and harden it, but to another heart the Sun of God will melt them until they're a flexible, shapable object.  Have YOU been born again with a flexible new heart?

1 Kings 11:26-13:34 - Calvary Chapel Downeast - Pastor Will Cass

One of the greatest examples of wisdom and discernment is on display in the message from the life of King Solomon!  Two mothers, two newborns...but one has died.  Who's who and how will Solomon judge?  Join us in listening to this lesson reminding us that God will vindicate us.  We can come to a good judge and He will make all things right!  Plus there's a wonderful picture of Jesus Christ's self-sacrificing love shown thru the true mother.

1 Kings 3:16 - 5:18 - Calvary Chapel Downeast - Pastor Will Cass

In this tremendous message, Solomon brings the nation together for a great feast.  What an excellent reminder to us that singing, dancing and being joyful is a wonderful part of our experience with God.  Sometimes today we get the impression from certain Christians that the more somber our worship is that this means we're more holy, not so!  It's at night after this great feast that Solomon has the memorable occasion of asking the Lord for anything he wants!  Think of your desire for a minute...is it safe to say that you and I don't have all the answers?  If we were asked whatever we desired, how glorious would it be if our response to God was to say, "give me what I need to follow You"!!

1 Kings 2:1 - 3:15 - Calvary Chapel Downeast - Pastor Will Cass

When a Pastor is caught committing adultery, people whisper, "....and he did it AT THE CHURCH!" Yet there are so many things that we allow to go on in our HEARTS and MINDS that aren't of Christ. Aren't WE the temple of God? 
 
If you're looking for some fresh marriage counseling and Sex Ed, God's way, the right way, this message is it. Praise the Lord right now, not that we have freedom to sin, but that we have freedom FROM sin!!

1 Corinthians 6:12-7:16 - Pastor Will Cass of Calvary Chapel Downeast

Does God have a 'call' for you?  Not what others call you, but what does God call you?  Let's dive into what it means to be sanctified.  Just as the vessels in the Temple has a purpose, so you have a 'set apart' purpose in the eyes of Jesus!  You're not who you used to be, you're a saint!  You're not guilty anymore, mercy is yours!
