Elijah: Perspective is Everything! (1 Kings 19)
Message by Dave Patterson – August 25, 2024
In critical times, are you prepared, equipped, capable? Have you mined: The Gold Within?
Background
– What’s in a name? – Jezebel vs. Elijah
– Crises of conflict: drought, dualling deities, death threat
Managing crisis is a matter of perspective:
1. Look forward – we manage crisis by staying on mission. 2 Cor 4:1
2. Look around – we manage crisis by having a passion for compassion. 2 Cor 4:3-6
3. Look up – we manage crisis by acknowledging God is in control. 2 Cor 4:7-8,16-18
4. Look within – we manage crisis through honest self-appraisal.
Close: emotional energy quadrants. See: The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working
