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)

Come, join us as we pray for
• our South Church evangelism outreaches.
• our church to become even more evangelistic.
• individuals in our lives who are not yet followers of Christ.

Starting September 19, we will meet in the Office Conference Room at 9:15AM for the Tuesday Evangelism Prayer Meeting.

Tuesday Evening Men’s Study

7:00 – 8:00 PM BY ZOOM
Our time together begins with fellowship and prayer. Usually, we have a Scripture to read or review from our study book. Then we study by discussing the questions from our lesson.

During the discussion, the men are free to raise situations or issues that they are facing. Our goal is to go beyond knowledge and understanding to gain wisdom. We do that by thinking of ways to apply God’s truth to our lives. We have 3 rules: 1) We try to be prepared to answer the questions. 2) We don’t give advice but offer counsel. 3) Everything is to be held confidential. We always close with prayer requests and prayer.

We are very informal and enjoy getting to know each other. Many of our men are older, mature Christians, and all of us wish to be all that Christ would have us to be.

This is a great time to join in! We are currently studying, James: The Relationship Between Faith and Works by David Jeremiah.
