Faith and Fire: Elijah

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel. Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable.

Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire.

Join us on this 7-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.

  • Understand the value of seasons of growth and testing in your spiritual maturity.
  • Be encouraged to wait on God’s good work in your heart and mind, even in seasons when you feel like no one sees.
  • Learn to trust in the goodness and faithfulness of God and His purposes for your life.

Mondays: 12:00 pm, beginning March 20th in the Fireside Room. (Study Guide $18)

It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way

In this six-session Bible study you will find a safe place to share your disappointments, gain biblical insight to get you through painful situations, and life-giving perspectives for living between Eden and eternity.

Life often looks very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. At times like these, it’s easy to feel disappointed and disillusioned and to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness.

So what do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful?

Our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

  • Learn how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
  • Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
  • Discover the secret of remaining trustful when God seems to give us more than we can handle.
  • Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us for what’s next.
  • Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God’s truth.

Wednesdays: 6:30 pm, Beginning April 5th Room 201, facilitated by Faith Opper, Study Guide $14
