Series: Standing Tall

Text: 1 Kings 17:17-24

I. THE TRAGEDY CONFLICTING WITH FAITH

Read 1 Kings 17:17

The deep trials of life can cause you to feel things in a way you have never felt before

Read Psalm 6:6, 69:1-3

II. THE TURMOIL CONFUSING TO FAITH

Read 1 Kings 17:18

All relationships go through three phases (Gerald Coates):

  1. Veneer – when you think you have met the greatest person in the world
  2. Disillusionment – when you feel let down/betrayed by the person
  3. Reality – when you have an objective perception about the person

Be careful to not let your belief system be centered around your circumstances or your feelings

III. THE TRUTH COOPERATING WITH FAITH

Read 1 Kings 17:19-21

A. Bearing others’ burdens (vs 19)

B. Praying for others’ pain (vs 20-21)

Elijah’s two prayers:

  1. The first prayer: a question
  2. The second prayer: a request

Read 1 Kings 17:20

It’s ok to raise tough questions with God as long as you do it with humility and faith

IV. THE TRIUMPH COMPLETING FAITH

Read 1 Kings 17:23-24

A. Conversion of the son (1 Kings 17:23)

B. Celebration of the Savior (1 Kings 17:24)
