Good Trouble: God's Sovereign Plans

In this first sermon in a new series walking through the life of Elijah, we take a look at how God's provision doesn't always come in the ways we think it should.

Show Notes

I Kings 17:1

James 5:17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.

GOD USES INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR HIS ETERNAL PURPOSES.

FOLLOWING GOD PUTS US IN OPPOSITION TO THE CULTURE WHICH IS RISKY FOR COMFORT.

 

VS17:2-7 GOD’S PLANS DO NOT CONFORM TO OUR LOGIC.

 

V8-9

V9-16

GOD HAD HIS PROVIDING EYE ON ELIJAH THE ENTIRE TIME

ELIJAH DIDN’T RESIST THE PROCESS

ELIJAH KNEW THE GOD HE SERVED WAS BIGGER THAN THE SITUATION HE FACED

ELIJAH’S OBEDIENCE SAVED OTHERS.

GOD’S PROVISIONS ARE EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, NOT ALWAYS WHAT WE WANT.
