God’s Holy Fire: the influential story of two prophets
Series description: Why would anyone want to read the tragic story found in the book of Kings? It is predominantly a story of faithful failure; however, it is meant to be instructive and includes many fascinating stories. If miracles are your thing, you’ll find food deliveries by ravens, fire falling from heaven, and a foreign general healed of leprosy to name a few. If you appreciate political intrigue, there are assassinations, rebellions, and espionage. If prophets are your heroes, you will encounter them anointing and deceiving kings, predicting famines, purifying water, and resurrecting children. But the most captivating part of Kings, is the main character, God Almighty. We discover Yahweh speaking, healing, judging, sending fiery chariots, and even talking a little trash. You are invited to join us over the next nine weeks as we consider this rich narrative with a specific focus on the lives of Elijah and Elisha. This influential story of two faithful prophets is sure to generate a daring faith to follow God no matter the cost.
We hope you will join us for this new sermon series beginning August 31st.
