This issue of Point of Reference is taught primarily by Lois Bannister, who walks through the full life of the prophet Elijah as a study in faith under pressure — from his bold confrontation with Ahab, to the ravens at Cherith, to the widow at Zarephath, to the fire on Carmel, to his weary collapse in a cave on Mount Horeb. The teaching draws out the consistent pattern: God meets His servants in their exhaustion, speaks not in the wind or earthquake or fire, but in a still, small voice — and commissions them onward. Beula Clark's poem "The Still Small Voice" opens the study, and Pastor Jack Bannister contributes "Cave of the Wind," a poem written as God's own word to the hiding prophet. The episode also includes four types of listeners, pastoral wisdom sayings, and a Q&A on the difference between spirit, soul, and body drawn from Hebrews chapter four.
