Description
Once you meet Elijah and get to know him, you’ll never forget him. On the one hand, he did great exploits for God that are almost beyond our comprehension. On the other, Elijah was also a “man just like us” (James 5:17). He experienced intense fear and deep loneliness. At times, he doubted God’s faithfulness. In spite of his humanness, God used Elijah to demonstrate to all Israel his holiness and great power. I’m eager to meet this man personally. Someday I will, but fortunately, I haven’t had to wait until eternity to discover those qualities that made him truly a man of God. And neither do you.
The Men of Character Series highlights the lives of men in the Bible whose relationships with God we can learn from today. Each of these leaders faced trials, frustration and failure, yet was inspired by God to achieve great goals. In a world where Christian role modes seem increasingly rare, this series reminds us that some of the most worthy examples of godly character are still the biblical figures who brought power, wisdom and inspiration to God’s people through the ages.
