TEACHING FOCUS
With God all things are possible!
We see that God keeps showing Elijah and the people of Israel that with Him, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Elijah was brave and faithful to keep trusting in God and following Him. Because of this, God did some amazing things through Elijah. When God asks us to so something hard, we can trust that He will be with us and help us just like He did with Elijah.

TEACHING FOCUS
EYES TO SEE & EARS TO HEAR
Paul, in the Bible, was known for teaching and living with BOLDNESS. This boldness didn’t come from a place of arrogance, but rather from knowing and acknowledging what Jesus had saved him from. He had clear spiritual eyes & ears to live body because he wasn’t ashamed of his part thanks to the cross of Jesus. We can live life like that too!

Acts 28:23-31
23 So a time was set, and on that day a large number of people came to Paul’s lodging. He explained and testified about the Kingdom of God and tried to persuade them about Jesus from the Scriptures. Using the law of Moses and the books of the prophets, he spoke to them from morning until evening. 24 Some were persuaded by the things he said, but others did not believe. 25 And after they had argued back and forth among themselves, they left with this final word from Paul: “The Holy Spirit was right when he said to your ancestors through Isaiah the prophet,
26 ‘Go and say to this people:
When you hear what I say,
you will not understand.
When you see what I do,
you will not comprehend.
27 For the hearts of these people are hardened,
and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and let me heal them.’
28 So I want you to know that this salvation from God has also been offered to the Gentiles, and they will accept it.”
30 For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him, 31 boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him.

Do you feel like your reputation reflects you honestly?
Is it hard to live boldly as a Christian? Do people assume you judge them?
Is hearing about Paul’s boldness even with his past encouraging? How so?
