Discouraged and Despairing
1 Kings 19:1-8
June 14, 2020

Introduction:

I. Jezebel remains unpersuaded. 1 Kings 19:1-2

II. Elijah is discouraged and despairing the cause. 1 Kings 19:3-4

III. God ministers to Elijah. 1 Kings 19:5-8

Questions for reflection:

• Why is education and compelling evidence insufficient in persuading many of the truth of the Gospel? What are the implications of this for evangelism?
  
  
• John Stott remarked, "The occupational hazard of Christian discipleship and ministry is discouragement." Do you agree with him?  Has this been an issue for you?

• How did God encourage and restore Elijah? What about this might be an encouragement to you?
