THIS WEEK’S CALENDAR
Through the Lord’s Supper, Jesus comes to us and grants us His eternal gifts! As we prepare to receive the Lord’s Supper, God’s Word encourages us to examine ourselves. The following questions can help you as you prepare to receive the Lord and His gifts: 1) Do you believe that you are a sinner whose hope for eternal life comes from
Christ alone? Romans 3:23-24 2) Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son and your Savior? Matt. 16:15-17 3) Do you believe that Jesus is present in this sacred meal to grant His forgiveness?
Matthew 26:26-28
4) Do you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, desire to live a godly life in response to
the Lord’s grace and goodness? Romans 12:1-2
Prepare for the Lord’s Supper
Driving the Word Home
1 Kings 18:1-15
October 1 and October 2, 2016
Pastor Bo Brink
As you leave church today and return home, please the opportunity throughout the week to consider and discuss the following based on the sermon and the following Scriptures.
Monday – v4 says that “Jezebel was killing off the Lord’s prophets.” Why was she doing this? Imagine that your husband or dad was one of these prophets. What would you do? Tuesday – Can you think of some modern day Jezebels who are persecuting Christians today? Why do they do this? Wednesday – v4 also says that “Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.” Imagine being one of these prophets in the caves. How would you feel about Obadiah? Thursday – What would Jezebel had done to Obadiah if she found out what he was doing? Why was Obadiah willing to take this risk? Friday – List some ways you and I can be modern day Obadiahs, providing support for persecuted Christians today. What motivates us to do these things? Saturday – In some ways, all of us are “persecuted” by sin, death and the devil. In what ways was (is) Jesus our great Obadiah?
“The Need for More Obadiahs and Elijahs”
Luke 8:26-39 1 Kings 19:19-21 Luke 9:57-62
1 Kings 18:1-15
Oh no! Jezebel is trying to arrest and kill all of the Lord’s prophets! No, wait . . . someone is hiding them! Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone . . . it’s Obadiah! Oh no! Mean people are trying to silence, arrest, torture and murder Christians around the world! No, wait . . . Someone is rescuing them! Who would that be?
