Discussion Questions:

  1. 1) Elijah modeled both strengths and weaknesses to Elisha, just like we do with the people in our lives. What are some habits, values, or attitudes (good or bad) that you think you might be passing down to others around you?

    2) Evangelism is often misunderstood or avoided because of fear. How does your view of evangelism line up with the idea that we’re always “evangelizing” something we love? What would it look like for you to naturally share your faith the way you share about your favorite restaurant, team, or band?

    3) Elisha asked Elijah for a “double portion” of his spirit. Who has empowered you in your walk with God, and how did it impact your faith? In what ways might God be calling you to empower someone else?

    4) Mentorship requires intentionality and commitment, like Elisha staying with Elijah even when given the chance to leave. Who are you walking closely with right now—either as a mentor or as someone being mentored? What steps could you take to deepen that relationship?

Week 3: All In - Weakness

Elijah went from a mountain-top miracle to hiding in a cave, asking God to take his life. In this message, we discover that God doesn’t want your strength — He wants your surrender.

Discussion Questions:

  1. Elijah went from spiritual victory on Mount Carmel to spiritual exhaustion under the broom tree. What does this teach us about the highs and lows of following God? How have you seen this in your own faith journey?

  2. Read 1 Kings 19:9–10. Elijah pours out his honest frustrations to God. What does this reveal about how we can approach God in our doubts and struggles?

  3. God didn’t show up to Elijah in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a whisper. Why do you think God chose that? How does this challenge the way we look for God in our daily lives?

  4. Pastor Eric emphasized three responses from Elijah’s story: Rest, Get Up, Listen. Which of these is hardest for you, and what practical step could you take this week to grow in that area?

  5. God desires our surrender, not our strength. What might surrender look like for you right now — in your family, work, or faith?

Week 2: All In - Trust

God provided for Elijah in surprising ways during a season of drought. Discover how trusting God’s provision—even when it looks unlikely—can grow your faith and free you to go all in for Him.

Reading: 1 Kings 17:1-16

Discussion Questions:

1) Elijah depended on God daily during the drought. Where in your life right now do you find it hardest to depend on God daily rather than just believing in His power in the big picture?

2) God used ravens and a pagan widow to provide for Elijah. Can you share a time when God provided for you in an unlikely or unexpected way?

3) The brook eventually dried up, and God provided in a new way. How do you typically respond when God changes the way He provides for you? How can we stay open to new forms of His provision?

4) The widow gave from her scarcity, not abundance. What does it look like for you to trust God with your “not enough”—whether that’s time, finances, or energy?

5) You ended the sermon with the call to give, invite, and serve as we step into a new season as a church. Which of those three is God nudging you to step further into, and what might “all in faith” look like in that area?

Week 1: All In - Allegiance

Elijah challenged Israel to stop wavering between God and idols, reminding us that halfway faith is no faith at all. In this message, we explore what it means to go ‘all in’ for God and how to live with bold, uncompromised faith today.

Reading: 1 Kings 18:16-40

Discussion Questions:

  1. Where do you see signs of halfway faith in your own walk with God? What would it look like for you to go all in in that area this week?

  2. Elijah stayed loyal to God even when everyone around him was worshiping Baal. What are some “modern Baals” (idols) that pressure you to waver in your loyalty to God? How can you remain faithful when those pressures are strongest?

  3. Elijah boldly stood up to 450 prophets of Baal. Where in your life right now is God calling you to take a bold stand for Him? What fears keep you from stepping into that, and how can this group encourage you in it?

  4. The drought was both painful and an act of God’s grace to draw Israel back to Him. Can you share a time in your life when a “drought season” (pain, waiting, struggle) turned out to be something God used for your good? How does that change the way you view current struggles?

  5. Is there something you’ve been praying for or waiting on God for where you feel tempted to give up? What would it look like for you to “look again” in faith this week?
