Days of Elijah 06 - Hitting Rock Bottom

In this week’s study of Elijah we find out that this extraordinary prophet is an ordinary person and hits rock bottom in his life.  It will be surprising for people to see this hero suffering with a significant bout of depression and sinks to a low point in life.  There are several lessons we will pick up about hitting rock bottom in our own lives, but we’ll make no greater observation that how Jesus shows up and offers amazing affection and support to Elijah.  We will learn with fresh wonder how Jesus will be there for us in life’s low spots.  I have a deep suspicion this will be life altering for some who feel down, forgotten, beat down, and heavy hearted.

Days of Elijah 05 - Speaking Truth for God

As we continue our study of Elijah, this week we’ll take a closer look at how to operate in the prophetic. Rather than this being a weird and/or a select practice for a few, operating in the prophetic is a grace afforded to every willing follower of Jesus.  Operating in the prophetic is about speaking into people’s lives and situations with inspired truthfulness that encourages, brings clarity, and invokes the faithfulness of God’s promises. From Elijah’s life and example we’ll learn how to increase our spiritual sensitivity and become persistent in speaking and praying the promises of God.

Days of Elijah 04 - The Showdown

Over these past few weeks, we have been studying one of the most influential people in the Bible. Surrounding Elijah's life is some of the most incredible stories loaded with the most crucial lessons for navigating life: courageously, prophetically, supernaturally. Up until now, we have seen God preparing Elijah for an epic battle, as we come to week 4 in our study of Elijah.

Days of Elijah 03 - Switching Seats

In Week 3 of Days of Elijah we learn that Elijah needs refining. Maybe we don’t see it, but the Lord doesn’t see things the way we do. The Lord sees in Elijah and knows what needs refining. His heart and his faith have some impurities and a refining fire is needed to purge his resentment. When God switches our seat, sometimes He is heating things up so that our hearts and our faith can be refined.

Day’s of Elijah 02 - There

In week 2 of our Elijah study, we will circle back to take in Elijah’s prophetic challenge (“no dew or rain…until I give the word!”) and trace what happens next – that God leads him to a purposeful place where is cut off from all others and isolated where the Lord can protect him, prepare him, and provide for him.  From all angles, this looked like a bad idea (desolate, dangerous, dumb) but Elijah fully surrendered in this place and was made ready “there” for maximum fruitfulness. Likewise, God is going to lead us to our own purposeful places and He will do for us what He did “there” for Elijah.  May the Lord give to each of us the foresight and hindsight to appreciate His great work that He does in each of us “there.”

Days of Elijah 01 - Introduction to Elijah

We will get our introduction to Elijah (1 Kings 17:1) and see how God used some things to shape him with readiness to step into a troubled time.  When life is a mess, God is still God! He is ready and able to act. But often, how the Lord involves Himself in a mess is through a person who He’s prepared to be His voice to speak into that situation, and be His hands to act in what needs to be done.  God prepares each of us, as followers of Jesus, for “now” moments – opportunities when Christ seeks to do something in the problems around us.

I Don’t Want To Leave

This week, guest Pastor Ralph Emerson challenged us to appreciate the presence of God more than the presents of God. We look at ways to experience the presence of God and things to learn from our worship. You can’t get in the presence of God and stay the same.
