“When Elijah heard it he wrapped his face in his mantle...and said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts...they seek my life to take it away.”
A youth-led Sunday service focused on the mission of the 70 (Luke 10): believers are sent to sow the gospel, equipped by God, and called to persistent, humble evangelism. The teaching emphasized prayer, dependence on God, staying focused amid distractions and opposition, bringing peace, and rejoicing in being used by God. The service included prayer, Scripture readings, a drama and testimonies illustrating outreach, youth and children presentations, Father's Day celebrations, and practical announcements (Youth Fest, regional convention, July 4 cookout).
“And it was so, then Elijah heard it and he wrapped his face in his mantle...and behold there came a voice unto him...and he said, I have been jealous for the Lord God of hosts because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant.”
A preaching on God calling believers and the church to a higher level using Elijah's story as the model: avoid stagnation and disobedience, receive God's provision, arise and move forward, and embrace mentorship as the church advances.
