1 Kings 21:29

The Bible is full of people who strayed from the path of good: the rogues, scoundrels, and scallywags. But is there something good these bad people can teach us? Join pastor Jeff Lucas for the next 6 days as he looks at what Jezabel can teach us about using power and influence well.

Are you in a season of waiting at the moment? Do you feel like asking God, “How much longer, Lord? Are we there yet?” In this Plan, we will explore some landmarks to look for along the way. I hope these checkpoints will give you hope as you find meaning in your waiting.

Have you noticed that the world around you is getting darker and evil seems to be winning? God's Word is both timeless and timely and the story of Elijah in 1 & 2 Kings shows how God was faithful to His people even in the midst of demonic destruction. Elijah was one of the greatest men, after Jesus Christ, to ever live, and his boldness will encourage you to stand firm against the ultimate Enemy.

The towering figures who dominate the pages of 1 and 2 Kings are not the kings themselves, but the prophets, often called “men of God.” These messengers from God to the king and the people, with their faithful and often costly obedience, stand in stark contrast to the mostly bleak portrait of the monarchs of Judah and the unrelieved negative portrayal of the kings of Israel. Of these mighty people of faith, Elijah is the major player in the second half of 1 Kings. His story offers us deep lessons of faith and courage.
