On Sunday, September 28, 2025 at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on the books of 1 and 2 Kings(the life of Elijah).  This message was part 8 of the “Scarlet Thread” sermon series.  Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion.  You will also find the audio/video of the message to listen to/watch, or download.

Sermon Questions:

1. Pray


2. Skim through 1 Kings 17 – 2 Kings 2 to familiarize yourself with the life of Elijah.


3. When you look through Elijah’s life and ministry, what things do you see him do that remind you of things from the earthly ministry of Jesus?  In what sense were Jesus’ works EVEN BETTER than what the Lord did through Elijah?


4. Jesus is not just a historical figure or a person in a book.  He is the Son of God who cares for you!  How does remembering who He is give you comfort in the midst of your life today? 


5. The Old Testament prophets pointed to Jesus.  They predicted His life in vivid detail.  Some estimate over 300 prophecies are made in the Old Testament about Jesus.  We reviewed eight of those prophecies this morning.  How does seeing these prophecies fulfilled increase your faith that Jesus is indeed LORD as He claimed to be?  


6. Can you think of anyone that God might want you to talk with and share some of these prophecies about who Jesus was?  Pray that God might use His Word to help convince those you know about the true identity of Jesus and our need to trust in Him.


7. What stands out to you most from this message?  Any particular takeaway?
