This spring, our men's and women's discipleship groups will both be studying the life of Elijah.
Elijah emerged as the voice of unapologetic truth during a time of national crisis and moral decline. His ministry was marked by tenacious faith- the same kind you and I will need in order to remain steadfast in our current culture. We hope you will join us for this timely study.
We will have a few groups to choose from for men and women. One of the reasons we are excited about this crossover is because it presents the opportunity for friends, spouses, and community group members to connect outside of discipleship group about what they are studying.
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.
Thinking only of 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.
For this study you will need to order a copy of the Elijah - Bible Study Book by Priscilla Shirer.
