Saturday Sermon: "Deeply Wounded" 1 Kings 17:1-9

Last Sunday I began a new sermon series on the lives and ministries of two of the Old Testaments most significant prophets - Elijah and Elisha. These two ordinary men were used powerfully by their extraordinary God to show their people who the One True God was/is. As we study their lives, we will learn some important truths about the God we worship and serve today.

To prepare for the next message on Sunday morning, you can listen to the previous message here. Last Sunday we were introduced to the prophet Elijah and learned that God was preparing him for a significant event on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18). God's plan was to teach Elijah to be totally dependent on Him, and the lesson came through a very difficult episode in Elijah's life. One of the important lessons we learned about the One true God is that “Before God can use us greatly, He must wound us deeply.” Listen to the sermon below to learn how that truth played out in Elijah's life.
