Session 199: 1Kings12-19:18 - “Speaking Truth To Power: Elijah” | “Do You Feel You’re Alone In Your Faith?”

All of the Northern Kings (Israel) and most of the Southern Kings (Judah) were bad, in that they permitted, if not promoted, idol worship. Religious syncretism is easy! But it’s not truth! Elijah spoke truth to power (Ahab and Jezebel) despite the consequences.

As a result, Elijah felt alone, outside of God. But he wasn’t! God made him aware (19:18) that there were at least 7000 other believers. You are not alone, either! Seek comfort, and give comfort to other believers!

Many similarities between Elijah and Moses (and Jesus.)

Moses, Elijah (representing the Prophets) and Moses (representing the Law) stood with Jesus at the Transfiguration (Mt.17:3). And Jesus “outshined” them both.
