Elijah is told by God to find Elisha and anoint him as the next prophet of Israel. But does that mean that Elisha has no choice but to accept the assignment? Today, we look at the first meeting between these two great men of Israel — and more importantly, we look at how our response […]

Elijah has made it to the top. He has had such an amazing day — from tearing down the false idols of a nation, to bringing the people to repentance, to praying for rain to be restored and seeing it happen. In a movie, this would be where the music swells and he exits to […]

Sometimes, we need to look at a complex subject from different viewpoints. Especially when it is a central part of the Christian Experience. Today, we take another look at Faith. It is such an important part of the Christian’s story. And yet it seems to be misunderstood, improperly taught, and remains a mystery to most […]

This is the highlight of Elijah’s arc in the Bible: The showdown on Mount Carmel. He is out numbered 1000 to 1. And he has them right where he wants them….BIBLE REFERENCES: 1 Kings 18:7-13, 15-19; Exodus 32:4-6; Judges 16:25; 1 Kings 18:20-35; Matthew 19:25-26; 1 Kings 18:36-40; Jeremiah 16:19; Amos 5:21-23, 25-26.

There is an old saying about giving memorable speeches: “First you tell them that you are going to tell them, then you tell them, and then you tell them that you told them…” The amazing thing is today’s scripture does just that. It underlines this passage three times: twice in the Old Testament, and once […]

Elijah has faced off against the most powerful man in the country, and made a promise that God was bringing judgement. But — just when it seems like the story is taking off — the Bible shifts gears and shows us Elijah’s downtime as he waits by a brook. What is it about being in […]

We begin a new series about two characters of the Old Testament who seem larger than life. In fact, it is almost as though God paints them in bright colors so we won’t miss them. They dominate the books of First and Second Kings — but they aren’t Kings. They are known as Prophets — […]
