Alive – What You Thought Was Dead Can Live Again

Throughout the series, we’ll discover how God brings resurrection to our soul and every area of life. Our first resurrection story is about a widow’s son who dies during a time of famine. Through Elijah the boy is resurrected! The most powerful part of the widow’s story happens as her son dies at Elijah’s request, she places her dead son in his hands.She has to release her hopes, dreams, longing, hurt, and greatest pain into his hands.  Elijah then lays out his life for the boy. He takes death upon himself so that the boy might have the life that is in him. This is the picture of Jesus in the story! After the boy is resurrected, Elijah carries him downstairs and places him back into his mother’s arms ALIVE! When we take what has died in our life – what no longer has joy, what no longer seems redeemable, what no longer has a future – and place it in the arms of Jesus, He can resurrect!Click here to download a PDF version of the sermon notes that can be viewed on any device.
