This document provides details from 1 Kings about the kings of Israel from 931 BC to 874 BC, including Jeroboam, Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Tibni, and Omri. It then focuses on King Ahab, the most evil king, who took Jezebel as his wife and led Israel to worship Baal. It describes God raising up the prophet Elijah to confront Ahab during a drought, and how Elijah was fed by ravens and sustained a widow and her son according to God's direction.

Israel repents and turns from idols unto God. God defeats the Philistines. We don't have to let demons roost in our minds; we can cast them out in the Power of God.

• Conclusion:
How can we pray in faith (Mark 11:22-24) when we don’t know God’s sovereign will in advance? How long should we continue praying if God doesn’t seem to be answering? Is there a point at which we should give up? Where is the proper balance between prayer and proper methods? Does dependence on God in prayer mean that we should neglect effective methods?

Ecclesiastes 9:13-15 God remembered: Noah, Abraham, His promise, His mercy, His covenant, Hannah, Rachel, that we are but dust, our alms, our iniquity, but He does not remember the sins of the righteous. What will God remember about you?
What is faith in God? How does the believer increase in faith? What parallels can you make between your growth in faith and Elijahs? What lessons in faith did Elijah learn at the brook at Cherith? …at the widow’s home at Zarephath? Describe your Cherith and Zarephath experiences. Explain the significance of Elijah’s meeting with Obadiah after Cherith & Zarephath and before Mt. Carmel. After such a triumphant victory at Mt. Carmel over the 450 prophets and priests of Baal why did Elijah run? Did his running demonstrate a lack of faith? Where did he run to? False gods promise what only the one true God can provide. What false gods do you see being worshiped in the culture around you?
40 Days and 40 Nights_Jesus our ComforterStephen Palm
Another name for Mt. Sinai is Mt. Horeb. Several weeks ago, we saw in Exodus 24 that Moses fasted and waited atop Mt. Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights, waiting for God to deliver His Law to His people. And then, we saw in Deuteronomy 9 that after Aaron made the golden calf idol and the nation worshipped this Egyptian god, the God of Israel threatened to destroy the nation of Israel and make a new nation descended from Moses. But instead of allowing himself to become the new focal point of biblical history, Moses interceded in prayer for 40 days and 40 nights atop Sinai and begged God to relent. And now, we find ourselves nearly 500 years later. After defeating the prophets of the pagan god Baal on Mt. Carmel, Elijah the prophet has learned that evil Queen Jezebel is seeking revenge. He flees for 40 days and 40 nights and in great fear he sits atop Mt. Horeb, the same mountain that Moses spent two such 40-day jaunts. Elijah wishes he was never born, but God ministers to him and comforts him. And in this we see a picture of Jesus, who gently nurtures His people and ultimately promises the Holy Spirit as the greatest comforter of all time.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

From 931 BC until 874 BC
Israel had seven kings,
Each progressively worse
than the ones before.
Each of them had opportunity
to repent from sin and to live
as God had taught them to live.
But they each and every one walked
in his own way of terrible sin.
3. 3
Many wicked men have been men of might and
renown; have built cities, and their names are
found in history; but they have no name in the
book of life.
Matthew Henry Concise Bible Commentary
The world honors such men,
but God does not.
4. 1 Kings 16: 28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was
buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his
stead. 29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa
king of Judah (874 years before Jesus came) began
Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and
Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in
Samaria twenty and two years.
4
5. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of
the LORD above all that were before him. 31 And it
came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him
to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal
king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal,
and worshipped him.
5
6. 6
32 And he reared up an altar
for Baal in the house of
Baal, which he had built in
Samaria.
Baal was the god of Jezebel,
and Ahab began to worship
him after he married her.
2 Corinthians 6 14 Be ye not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion hath light with darkness?
7. 33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to
provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all
the kings of Israel that were before him. 34 In his
days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid
the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and
set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub,
according to the Word of the LORD, which He
spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
His oldest son died as Hiel laid the foundation to
rebuild Jericho, and his youngest son died as he
7
raised up the gates to finish the city.
8. It happened just as God said well
over a thousand years before.
God had just destroyed Jericho, as the
Israelites entered the Promised Land.
Joshua 6 26 And Joshua adjured them at that time,
saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that
riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay
the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his
youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
8
10. 10
In the time of King Ahab and
his wicked wife Jezebel, God
raised up a prophet.
Elijah
11. 1 Kings 17 1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of
the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the
LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand,
there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but
according to my word.
11
We don’t know what Ahab’s immediate
reaction was, but when he told Jezebel, she
was going to be crazy mad.
God knew this and had a Plan to save Elijah.
12. 12
2 And the Word of the LORD
came unto Elijah, saying, 3 Get
thee hence, and turn thee east-ward,
and hide thyself by the
brook Cherith, that is before
(east of) Jordan. 4 And it shall
be, that thou shalt drink of the
brook; and I have commanded
the ravens to feed thee there.
5 So he went and did according
unto the Word of the LORD: for
he went and dwelt by the brook
Cherith, that is before Jordan.
13. Some would say that if Elijah had been where God
wanted him, the brook wouldn’t have dried up.
13
6 And the ravens brought him
bread and flesh in the
morning, and bread and flesh
in the evening; and he drank of
the brook. 7 And it came to
pass after a while, that the
brook dried up, because there
had been no rain in the land.
God had a Plan.
14. 14
8 And the Word of the LORD
came unto him, saying, 9
Arise, get thee to Zarephath,
which belongeth to Zidon,
and dwell there: behold, I
have commanded a widow
woman there to sustain thee.
God had a widow and her son
to save in a pagan land.
The very area from which
Jezebel came.
15. 15
10 So he arose and went to
Zarephath. And when he
came to the gate of the city,
behold, the widow woman
was there gathering of
sticks: and he called to her,
and said, Fetch me, I pray
thee, a little water in a
vessel, that I may drink.
Elijah gave her something to do.
16. 16
11 And as she was going to
fetch it, he called to her,
and said, Bring me, I pray
thee, a morsel of bread in
thine hand.
Then he added
something to her task.
17. 17
12 And she said, As the
LORD thy God liveth, I
have not a cake, but an
handful of meal in a
barrel, and a little oil in a
cruse: and, behold, I am
gathering two sticks, that I
may go in and dress it for
me and my son, that we
may eat it, and die.
Her plan.
18. 18
13 And Elijah said unto her,
Fear not; go and do as thou
hast said: but make me
thereof a little cake first,
and bring it unto me, and
after make for thee and for
thy son.
This is the principle of
giving to God first.
Proverbs 3 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So
shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy
presses shall burst out with new wine.
19. 19
14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The
barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the
cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD
sendeth rain upon the earth.
God’s Plan is always best!
Psalm 37:23a (KJV)
23 The steps of a good man
are ordered by the LORD:
