Faith and Fire: A Study of Elijah by Priscilla Shirer
7-Session Study beginning Tuesday, January 19th, and Wednesday, January 20th. On-campus and online options available.
Old Testament heros are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slayig 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 o 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 Tuesday evenings or Wednesday mornings beginning January 19th and 20th for this 7-session study 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.
