Elisha, Mighty Type of Christ! II Kings 3-4 OT S1:E201

Elisha performs a mighty feeding miracle and raises a young boy from the dead! We will see how these two miracles were mighty types of Christ. Not vague prophecies, but miracles that actually happened in the very same communities where Jesus raised a widow's son and fed multitudes.

Bitterness of Betrayal, Luke 22:35-73 NT S1:E104

One could argue that the betrayal of Peter stung the Lord worse than the betrayal of Judas. Watching Jesus be betrayed by His closest friends gives us opportunity to reflect on how we have betrayed Him. Despite His betrayal, Jesus carried His burden faithfully on to the cross.

BONUS! Revelation, Elijah and Enoch, II Kings 2 OT S1:E200b

Could Enoch and Elijah be the two faithful witnesses mentioned in Revelation, who will be sent shortly before the return of Christ? We explore this possibility in our bonus episode!

Elijah and Elisha Rising, II Kings 1-2 OT S1:E200

As Elijah is taken to heaven, Elisha is annointed by God to continue his prophetic work. These prophets were sent as faithful witnesses to unbelieving Isreal. We are encouraged by them when we find ourselves living in evil and wicked times.

Ahab's Demise, I Kings 22 OT S1:E199

Ahab goes into battle with Jehosophat, King of Judah, against his nemesis, the King of Syria. He disguised himself as a random soldier, thinking he could outwit his own demise, which God had prophecied. Instead, he is killed, and God's judgment is executed.

Honor In Service, Luke 22:1-34 NT S1:E103

Immediately following the Last Supper, the disciples begin bickering about who's the greatest. Jesus responds by explaining that honor and greatness are found in service. We, who are exalted by His service, will find our own honor in serving others.

Quintessential Ahab, I Kings 20-21 OT S1:E198

Ahab's greatest victory and great folly are on display in this episode. God grants him repeated victory over the much stronger king of Syria. But then his wife orders the execution of the righteous man Naboth, so that Ahab can have his vineyard. God can not tolerate such wickedness forever!

Elijah, the Despairing Prophet, I Kings 19 OT S1:E197

God meets the prophet Elijah at his darkest hour. The despairing and despondent prophet is encouraged by a face-to-face encounter with the Lord, where God appears to him in a low, still whisper. God promises to send waves of helpers to finish the work that Elijah has begun. Elijah leaves the mountain of the Lord with new zeal for ministry and prepared for the rest of his life's work.

Watch Yourself! Luke 21:20-38 NT S1:E102

Jesus warns His disciples not to fall to the temptations of depression, drunkeness and distraction. Soon, He will be taken from them, and His work will be handed over to them. If they are to serve Him well, they must keep their eye on the prize of sharing Him and His love with others.
