Light On Dark Clouds: Discouragement
April 30, 2023 || 1 Kings 19 || Walt Alexander
MAIN POINT: The losses sustained in suffering are discouraging, but take heart, God is making all things new.
1. Discouragement forgets who God is.
2. Discouragement diminishes strength to face the present.
3. Discouragement despairs of the future.
4. Discouragement encounters God’s kindness & compassion.
5. The way out of discouragement is to humble ourselves & obey.
TGKIDS RECAP
TGKIDS
The heart of TGKids is to help children understand that the Bible is all about Jesus! Below is the story, scripture, and main teaching points from the TGKids lesson, so that you can talk with your kids about what they learned.
Bible Story: Elisha's Ministry
Scripture: 2 Kings 2:13-22, 4:1-7; 6:1-7
Bible Truth: Elisha’s life and ministry point to Christ.
Where is Jesus: 2 Kings 4:32–37
God used Elisha to multiply a widow’s oil, to give a wealthy woman a son, and now here in this story, to raise her son after he dies. The miracles that Elisha performs illustrate God’s power and point to the day when God would send another prophet even greater than Elisha.
When Jesus comes, he also performs miracles. He turns water into wine and multiplies a few fishes and loaves of bread to feed a crowd of more than five thousand. Jesus heals the sick and even raises the dead. Jesus also dies on the cross for our sins and is raised from the dead so that we can have new life. The new life God gave the young boy through Elisha is a small hint of the new life God gives to all his children.
