Old Testament (1199)
  1. Violent raids and raising the dead.
  2. The amount of Messianic/Christological connections in this account is stunning. This is an excellent Old Testament text with which to begin Lent!
  3. God’s plans and purposes for this world aren’t dependent upon us. They’re dependent upon him. This means our faith is liberated.
  4. Final words, gospel nuggets, and moving in with your enemies.
  5. Elijah crosses over the Jordan to be taken into Heaven. Later, Elisha will cross the Jordan again into the Promised Land.
  6. God is not what we experience him to be, what our emotions narrate him to be, or what our intuition thinks he might be. God is what and who he says he is.
  7. Like needing to find a bathroom, the urgency of preaching the presence of God’s kingdom should be felt in the very inner being of every pastor. Not that anything has changed, but God is definitely demonstrating the vulnerability of sinners to the masses. The harvest is now!
  8. Even though it may appear otherwise, the LORD has power over all things, Heaven and Earth, and He has and will use that power to save His people.
  9. A dead heart, a quick wedding, and a vulnerable king.
  10. The Old Testament mentions wine about 140 times and beer ("strong drink") about 20 times. What can we learn from these passages? Chad Bird provides us with a short Q&A about the Hebrew background of alcohol, as well as a look forward to the Party of parties in the resurrection feast.
  11. Unrequested protection, a fool, and a wise woman.
  12. Christ is not only the fulfillment of the prophetic line, but He is also the NEW Moses.
