God's Word Is Sometimes Resisted

Sermon of Sunday, June 20, 2010

Preacher: Francis Noordanus

Scriptures: 1 Kings 18:17-40 & 1 Kings 19:1-15a (also Hebrews 4:12)

Introduction:

The readings for today [1 Kings 18:17-40 & 1 Kings 19:1-15a] cover the climactic events of Elijah's Ministry as a messenger of Yahweh and his battles with false prophets and one vicious enemy of the Word in Jezebel.  They reflect one template or pattern for how the ministry of God's Word is at times resisted and attacked. Christians must not be naive to this.  Francis introduces this reflection and teaching by first viewing the Word of God as the sharp double edged sword described in Hebrews 4:12.
