Small Group Discussion Questions:
1) How does Elijah’s experience in 1 Kings 19 show that God pursues us even when we feel hopeless or distant from Him?
2) Why do you think God revealed Himself to Elijah in a gentle whisper rather than through powerful displays? How does this shape your expectations of how God speaks today?
3) Elijah believed he was the only faithful person left. How can isolation distort our perspective, and how can Christian community help correct that?
3) Even after Elijah’s low point, God gave him a mission. What does this tell us about how God uses imperfect people for His purposes?
5) How does Jesus, as the true and better prophet, fulfill what Elijah could not? How does His faithfulness encourage you in your struggles?
