Elijah: The War for Your Heart

Men and women throughout history have struggled with the problem of idolatry and we are no exception. This week, Ptr. Jared Co uses the ministry of Elijah to explain why we struggle with idols and shows us how we can overcome this challenge.

Read Today’s Scripture Passage

2 Kings 2:12; 1 Kings 17-19

Life Group Discussion Guide

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

  • Choose 2 LG members to share a devotion they recently had.
  • How have you been the past week?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

  • How did Elijah obey the Lord? How did Elijah humble himself? Through his faithful obedience, how did he experience God again and again?
  • How was Elijah completely faithful over God’s house? Read 1Kings 18:21, where was the heart of the Israelites? Read 1Kings 18:31-32, where was Elijah’s heart set upon? How are the idols in the Old Testament similar/different from the idols we now have?
  • When Elijah felt drained in many different aspects, how did God restore him?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)

  • In what aspect of Elijah’s experiences are you able to relate to him? With this experience, how have you known God more through it?
  • Do you struggle in believing that God can restore you? What are the doubts you have? What do Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection say about the restoration He offers you?
    ***NOTE TO LEADERS: This is an opportunity to share the Gospel to non-believing members and to remind the group of the Gospel.

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)

  • What have you learned from the message? How would you like to apply what you have learned in your life?
  • In what area of your life do you need to obey God now? How are you going to do it?

6. Engage God in prayer (20-30 mins)

  • Pray for each other’s needs and concerns. (10-15 minutes)
  • Pray for our country. (10-15 minutes)
    • Training of teachers in preparation for the upcoming school year and planning for the execution of new systems
    • Work from home employers and employees to have a balance of rest and work
    • Wisdom in planning towards a more strict implementation of GCQ
