Elijah (Week Three) Questions for discussion and reflection

Has there been a time in your life when you, like Elijah, experienced feelings of depression following a spiritual breakthrough?

In what ways does fear contribute to loneliness or depression? What are some of your fears?

Read 1 Kings 19:1-18.

1. Describe Elijah’s prayer when he got alone with God. What does this tell you about Elijah? How did God respond?

2. While in the cave, what did God ask Elijah and how did he respond? Does anything strike you as unusual about this question?

3. What did God command Elijah to do?

4. What can be learned from the way in which God spoke to Elijah?

5. Focus on one of the application points in the message, rest, solitude, honest prayer, community and mission. Which one or two of these are you most needful of in your life right now? What is your plan to put this into practice?
