February 24, 2020 2 Kings 9-10

    Check out the sermon here.

  1. Describe a time when you failed to measure up to expectations placed on you. 
  2. Read 2 Kings 9:1-10. Elijah and Elisha’s purpose was to call out the sins of evil King Ahab and the false prophets in Israel. Who does God use Elisha to appoint as the next king? What will this king’s purpose be?
  3. Read 2 Kings 10:28-31. What does Jehu do that is good? What does he do or not do that is bad? According to God’s standard, does King Jehu fulfill his purpose?
  4. So many times we long for someone to come and make things right. We see in 1 and 2 Kings that even when a new king comes, he still fails. How does this narrative show us why we need Jesus? How is Jesus different than all the kings of Israel who came before him?

  1. Why are you here? What is God’s purpose for your life?
  2. Read 1 Kings 19:1-10. Why is Elijah upset? When have there been times when you were trying to follow God, and things didn’t go as planned?
  3. Read 1 Kings 19:11-21. How does God comes to Elijah? Thinking that this happens on the same mountain where God miraculously came in the burning bush to Moese and also came in the cloud to give him the 10 commandments, what is surprising about this?
  4. How has God come in the still small voice for you?
