september
Pete Charlesworth kicked off this season of sorted on the 12th september. It was a great night of entertainment, worship, and learning about Elijah!
Check out the photos and a video of the talk below!
The passage was 1 Kings 16:9 - 17:4 (taken from the NIV)
Ahab Becomes King of Israel
(29) In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. (30) Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him. (31) He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. (32) He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. (33) Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than did all the kings of Israel before him.
(34) In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.
1 Kings 17
Elijah Fed by Ravens
(1) Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."
(2) Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: (3) "Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. (4) You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there."
