MiniBlog 3 - The Result

Our assignment for this week in the Year of the Disciple was a follow up of the week before -- Read 1 Kings 17, 18, and 19.

If you haven't read it yet, then take some time right now and get to it.

When you do read it, you'll see the problem -- Ahab was leading the nation of Israel away from God. You'll also see one man, a prophet named Elijah, listen to God and act in response to God's anger over what Ahab was doing.

This ties in closely with what we're hoping to accomplish in our commitment to Listen + Act focus. God had a problem. His word went out. One man listened and he acted.

What did God do to bring people to him through Elijah's actions? What was the fruit of Elijah's commitment to listen and then act?

That's the power of acting on what God's saying! It starts with listening. It continues through action. It ends with God moving powerfully! Read the whole story of Elijah, 1 Kings 17-19 and see what God does to bring people to him.
