Grow-Go-Sow Lesson 22

ELIJAH FLEES JEZEBEL


Text: 1 Kings 19:1–18


Topic(s): Suffering, the Voice of God


Big Idea of the Message: In Elijah’s moment of desperation, God revealed himself through a gentle whisper, assuring the prophet that though the Lord does not always operate in the realm of the spectacular, Elijah’s work was not in vain.


Application Point: Though we are sometimes tempted to give up in difficult circumstances, God has not left us alone.


Discussion Questions:
1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
2. Why was Elijah so discouraged in this passage?
3. Have you ever thought you accomplished something great, only to immediately face a discouraging situation? How did you deal with that?
4. Can you share a time when God encouraged you in a difficult season?
5. What do you do when you feel alone in the faith?
