After experiencing the power and authority of the God of Israel on top of Mount Carmel, where fire fell from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice, the prophet runs to Jezreel ahead of King Ahab. Upon hearing Jezebel's threats to execute him, Elijah then flees in despair to a distant mountaintop. Later, King Ahab of Israel goes to battle with Ben-Hadad of Aram. The Lord sends an unnamed prophet to alert Ahab that the Lord will win the battle for Israel so that Ahab will know that He alone is God over the whole earth. Then, when Ahab disobeys the Lord's command and spares Ben-Hadad instead of destroying him, the Lord sends another unnamed prophet to pronounce judgment.1 Kings 19 – 1:09 . 1 Kings 20 – 6:35 .

We say God still speaks—but what does that actually sound like? In this message, Pastor Joseph walks through Luke 24, Mark 6, and 1 Kings 19 to show that God still speaks—just not always how we expect. From conversation and Scripture to sacred rhythms, prophetic nudges, and inward whispers—God's voice isn't silent. It's gentle, consistent, and near. This message unpacks 5 ways God speaks and clears up the noise that keeps us from hearing Him. God's not playing hide-and-seek. He's drawing you in.

When Jezebel threatens to kill Elijah for what he has done to the prophets of Baal, Elijah runs for his life out of the land of Israel. Although the prophet fled apart from God's Word, the LORD miraculously provides for Elijah and sends him to Mount Sinai. There, Elijah lays his honest complaint before the LORD, and the LORD responds to Elijah through His Word in a low whisper. Even when the LORD's miraculous signs may not be present, the LORD teaches Elijah that His Word always is. The LORD strengthens Elijah by telling the prophet who will come after him and reminding him of the other faithful Christians in the land of Israel. In obedience to the LORD's Word, Elijah goes to Elisha who will follow in his footsteps. Rev. Mark Squire, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in St. Ansgar, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Kings 19:1-21. To learn more about Immanuel Lutheran, visit www.immanuelsta.org. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Finding Our Prophetic Voice: Journey with Elijah – 1 Kings 19:1-14Text: 1 Kings 19:1-14We continue reading the story of Elijah, who fears for his life in this week’s passage after he is threatened. God does not always sweep away everything that is wrong in the world, but the evil that exists does not wipe out…
IT SEEMS odd to us, looking back across more than 2,800 years of history, that Elijah would run from Jezebel right after seeing what God had done on Mount Carmel. Well, it's easy to criticize. It's likely none of us would have done better in Elijah's place. We discuss how he was ministered to by the Angel of the Lord, the preincarnate Christ, while on the way to Horeb (Mount Sinai), and how God revealed Himself to Elijah in a way that was less than spectacular—especially after sending winds that tore the mountain, an earthquake, and fire. In the same way, we often expect God to show Himself to us in earth-shattering ways and miss the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. But while it's easy to criticize Elijah, we have to point out that Ahab, who likewise saw the miracle on Mount Carmel and miraculous victories over the Aramean armies of Syria still failed to follow the Lord's command—a mistake that ultimately meant the end of his kingdom.

Sermon & Communion Meditation: Casey McCormick

In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah is fleeing for his life after the confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, where he had called down fire from heaven to prove that the Lord is the true God. Consequently, Jezebel threatens to kill him, leading Elijah to run for his life, overwhelmed with fear and despair. He isolates himself, asks God to take his life, and falls asleep under a broom tree. However, God provides for him through an angel, who gives him food and water, and Elijah journeys to Mount Horeb (Sinai), where he has a profound encounter with God—not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. This passage highlights Elijah's vulnerability, God's care, and the shift from dramatic displays of power to intimate, personal revelation.
Tate Cockrell teaches from 1 Kings on how to choose life-giving practices for your soul by turning to God and away from despair, especially on the hard road of ministry.

Pastor Jim explores Elijah's journey in 1 Kings 19, where despair follows his mountaintop victory. After Jezebel's threats, Elijah runs away feeling hopeless and alone. Yet God meets him in his weakness, providing food, rest, and eventually speaking not through dramatic signs but through a gentle whisper. Jim reflects on how God works both through and in us, even in our wandering and despair. He reminds listeners that the Christian life isn't just mountaintop experiences but also seasons of silence where God continues His faithful work.
In this sermon we begin a series inspired by a book called What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk With Howard Thurman by Lerita Coleman Brown. We use Thurman's famous quote to jumpstart our reflections on what it means to live in the spirit of the resurrection. [The quote: “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”] This sermon revolves around the importance of silence in our communion with God. We'll talk about the desert fathers, a book of dopamine, another book about someone's search for the quietest place on earth, and how our bodies play music.
