David Jeremiah - The Life of Elijah

I'm David Jeremiah, and welcome to "Turning Point". I begin today with a question: What is the most popular category of hardback books? No surprise, it's memoirs and biographies. We love stories about people. Sometimes we think we're reading about a life of an extraordinary person, but let me tell you something I've realized. People we consider to be extraordinary are often simply ordinary people who have pushed themselves to do extraordinary things.

And the Bible is filled with stories like that, stories of ordinary people like you and me, people God grabbed ahold of and used to accomplish extraordinary things. And one of those people became a mighty prophet for God. His name is Elijah.

Today, I'm beginning a series of messages called "Someone Like You," a study of how God used an ordinary man to accomplish unimaginable feats for the Lord. I hope you'll join me for today's message, entitled "The Life of Elijah," and be inspired to believe that God can also use you in an extraordinary way.
