INTRODUCTION: Today’s Topic: Faith. Today’s Passage in Context (adapted from the ESV Study Bible): --> Some Themes found in 1 Kings [the LORD “Yahweh” is the only true God, the only One worthy to be worshipped, Who judges those who worship false gods, and Who is also just, gracious, and faithful to His promises]; --> Some Highlights of 1 Kings 17-22 [God is working miracles thru the prophet Elijah (including a drought, supernatural provisions for daily life, raising the dead, and answering by fire) to show all Israel that the false gods of Baal (and all other false gods) are not true gods. Only the LORD, the God of Israel, is God, He alone has power over life & death, and He will judge the house of the evil King Ahab for his wickedness (yet God is still merciful and deals graciously with Ahab after he humbles himself)]. LIVING BY FAITH FOR THE LORD: --> Thru Revelation: with a God-Centered Perspective & Purpose (v1); --> Thru Obedience: to God’s Word & His Call on Our Lives (vs2-5, 10); --> Thru Trust: in God’s Provisions (of Supernatural & Ordinary means) (vs6-10). LIVING BY FAITH THRU OVERWHELMING TRIALS: --> When all Hope is Gone (vs8-12); In Spite of our Fears (v13); --> By Giving our All to Jesus vs13-15; --> By Experiencing God thru Obedience (vs15-16); --> By Persevering unto Maturity (vs17-24).
