What does this show me about God?
- Elijah soaks the altar and God answers anyway. What does that show you about God?
What does it show me about people — and about me?
- Elijah asks how long they will hop between two opinions. Why do people avoid choosing?
What will I obey this week?
- Where have you been sitting on the fence? What will you decide this week?
Who will I tell?
- Who could you tell about a time you saw God do something real?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
God, Elijah stood by himself in front of a whole crowd, and you answered with fire. Thank you that being outnumbered is not the same as being wrong.
