However, the days of Elijah were not limited to the time of the divided kingdom, because there was another Elijah to come.... Continue Reading →

Download Lesson 12Download https://youtu.be/1zYSFseredQ Luke records that after His baptism and subsequent temptation in the wilderness, Jesus went to Galilee and taught in the synagogues (Luke 4.14-15). Naturally, Jesus would make His way to Nazareth, but as we know the encounter did not go well. Jesus told those assembled that “no prophet is welcome in... Continue Reading →

Download Lesson 11Download https://youtu.be/IZGJntTIX48 Our last several lessons have examined the judgment God brought on Ahab, his house and ultimately on all of Israel.

Download Lesson 9Download https://youtu.be/32j4SiLF3ag In foreseeing the day when His people would request a king to rule over them, the Lord gave a series of instructions to Israel’s future rulers.

Download Lesson 8Download https://youtu.be/0UmRSvZ7XcA In our study of 1Kings 20 we noted that even though Ahab was twice victorious in battle against Ben-hadad of Aram, the chapter sets up God’s judgment against the Israelite king.

Download Lesson 6Download https://youtu.be/UYbbyYmwibs So far in our study we have noted God’s provision for His faithful servants Elijah and Elisha. The Lord not only provided necessities like food (1Kings 17.3-6), but also with purpose (1Kings 19.15-18) and the means to accomplish His work (2Kings 2.15ff.). And ultimately, the Lord provided a reward for their... Continue Reading →

Ahab reigned over Israel for 22 years (1Kings 16.29) and his son Ahaziah reigned for 2 (1Kings 22.51). Assuming that Elijah began his ministry near the beginning of Ahab’s reign and that his ministry concluded shortly after the death of... Continue Reading →

The episodes in 1Kings 18 and 2Kings 1 should have convinced Israel’s kings and her people to place their trust in the Lord. And if they had, they would have experienced the Lord’s care and provision (Deuteronomy 28.1-14). But even... Continue Reading →
