Elijah – Week Four
As a prophet during a time of unbelievable idolatry and immorality, Elijah stood against the evil all around him. Could we stand with the same conviction? Would we stand for God even if we’re alone? We’ll help answer these questions by studying:
- The questions we ask when life is difficult.
- What happened during Elijah’s stay in Zarephath.
- The things Elijah demonstrated from which we can learn.
- When life became difficult for Elijah, he faced many of the same questions we face in times of trouble.
Three questions we face in times of trouble:
1st “What’s happened?”
2nd “Why me?”
3rd “God, where are you?”
- Elijah encountered events in Zarephath, which showed much about his character and his reliance on God.
Zarephath in Hebrew means, “to smelt, crucible.”
- There were things Elijah demonstrated during his time at Zarephath, which are some lessons we can learn from him.
1st – There was calmness and contentment.
2nd – There was a gentleness and a self-control.
3rd – There was an undiminished faith.
4th – There was humility.
You have everything you need to do what God wants you to do.
