After Elijah makes a bold declaration to the King that there will be a severe drought, which no doubt gained him some notoriety (which we see later), God sends him to live in obscurity by a brook for a few years - a pattern we see often in the Bible.

We continue to unpack how God does extraordinary things through ordinary people, by looking at the life of Elijah and how he declared God's word and truth in the face of opposition. Also, we hear from Hennie and Zelda from the NCMI team, and good friends of our church, who share what God is doing in the nations and encourage us as Hope Rock Church in our mission.

The story of Elijah is full of drama, excitement, the work of the Holy Spirit, and a big showdown between God and the evil spiritual powers.

There is so much in the few chapters in 1 Kings that cover Elijah’s story that is applicable to today. Not only do we live in a similar spiritual climate, but we are also called to minister like Elijah did - with conviction and power, even in the face of our weaknesses.

Remembering the crucifixion of Jesus.

Our Easter series has been a wonderful excursion through key Old Testament stories, concepts and ideas that all point to Jesus. We’ve covered some of the prophecies of Jesus and some of the promises. Now, this week, we look at the ‘types’ and ‘shadows’. This is when a person or an object or a story represents Jesus in a symbolic sort of way. It can really make the Old Testament very interesting and edifying when we uncover these and receive further revelation of what Christ has done!
