We have been looking at the life of Elijah in the Book of Kings, events that occurred around 900 BC. And today, also, another episode that took place about 900 years later in the life of Jesus Christ. You may have noticed that the two passages have some similarities: there’s actually a profound connection.

And believe it or not that connection is a key, maybe thē key to living a life of spiritual greatness. And, I know, that’s a really big claim – “today’s sermon is the secret to becoming a spiritual superhero!” – and you may be a little suspicious… But… Give me a chance and I think it will emerge out of these two stories. Let’s look at:
1) The SUBSTANCE of the First Story (just the facts)
2) The SETTING of the Second Story
3) The SIGNIFICANCE In Combining the Stories
