James 517 tells us that Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are.

He lived and served God under a wicked king, and yet, in spite of the wickedness around him,

he was a man who not only walked with

God he had the power of God on his life in this study a man like us in times like

ours Scott Paulie will share encouragement from the life of Elijah that will help

us make a difference for Christ in our generation.

It was 1943 and World War II was in full swing when Ruth K. Jones sat down one day with the

local newspaper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When she opened it,

she found a long casualty list of all of the people who had been put to death, killed in

action overseas. Her heart was broken. She was grieving. She opened her Bible. And by the way, once you have

seen what's going on around you, that's what you ought to do, run to the scriptures. And she came to

2 Timothy chapter 3. And as she began to read about in the last days, perilous times shall come. God just prompted her.

She took out a pen and a piece of paper and began to write these words, which became a powerful

hymn, in times like these, we need a savior. In times like these, we need an anchor. Be very sure, be very sure your anchor holds

and grips the solid rock. This rock is Jesus. Yes, he's the one. This rock is Jesus the only one. Be very

sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the solid rock.

I want to tell you that in times like these, we do need a savior. In times like these,

we do need the assurance of the Word of God and the hope that is found in God alone.

These are perilous times.

These are troubled days.

But here is the great encouragement from the Word of God.

Though the times may be difficult, our God is always more than enough.
