The Zeal of Elijah
A Study of 1 Kings 17- 2 Kings 10
The suggested dates are only that - suggestions. Feel free to read through the assigned bible passages and listen to the associated podcast episodes at your own convenience. Things should work out as long as you have read all of the assigned passages and listened to all the episodes before our bi-weekly Zoom gatherings. That said, we encourage participants to space out readings so that you can meditate and reflect on the passages and be attentive to the ways that God might be speaking to you through the text(s).
