     | 75,497 views

    The sermon was written to call us to repentance for missing for so long, restore us to the place of godly leadership and stability, and encourage us to hang in there even when the going gets tough.

    The life of Elijah is such an encouragement to us as we are able to identify with him in his reaction to the events of his day - God is the same for us today and is able to strengthen and enable us to witness for Him.

    THE PROPHET WHO FELT LOSS 1 KINGS 19:1-19 Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of all time. God produced many mighty miracles through him; yet we see him at one of the low points in his life; in fact perhaps one of the darkest moments of his life.
