It was a very interesting evening.

Lesson 2 - Stories About Lost Things … Understanding God’s Love For Us

Jesus talked about a very common experience in this set of parables in Luke 15 — the loss of something precious and valuable. He began with a sheep, then moved on to a coin, and ended with a son. Who could not identify with one or all of them? But as always, Jesus had a point beyond the details. He wanted His listeners to think beyond the lost things themselves to who was doing the seeking in each case — and why. Who among His listeners would really hear what He was saying?

Lesson 4 - An Example in Perseverance

1 Kings 21:1-28; 1 Kings 19:19-21 and 2 Kings 2:1-15. Elijah was an incredible man of prayer. He knew what it was like to persevere even when he was hated and rejected for his relationship with God. Choosing not to see it as the end of his usefulness to God, he was willing to see God’s bigger picture and humbly invest in the life of his successor, Elisha.

Lesson 3 - When Fear Overwhelms and Depression Sets In

1 Kings 18:40-19:18.

As Christ followers, we know that the extremes of life teach us to trust Him, they draw us closer to Him, and conform us to His likeness. Elijah shows us what to do when those dark moments happen in our lives. God is never going to forget us! In fact, the Lord often uses those valleys to take us on to higher places, if only we will put our trust in Him and obey His Word.

Lesson 21 - An Exceptional God

Kings 17:12-18:40.

Elijah knew that nothing is impossible for God. In his encounter with the prophets of Baal we learn the truth that all religions are not the same and that enthusiasm and great activity are not always signs of spirituality! The prophets of Baal were no doubt sincere in what they believed, but it is possible to be sincerely wrong! People can have faith, but what truly matters is the object of that faith!
