Today, in our reading from the Gospel of⁠ Matthew, chapter 9⁠, we are introduced to a level of authority that only God possesses. Jesus is clear: He has the authority to forgive sin.

Drawing from ⁠Matthew 7⁠, we look at three essential tests Jesus gives: the Fruit Test, the Obedience Test, and the Foundation Test.

When we take a closer look, though, we find that our times are not much different from theirs in some of the most important ways. Sure, our lives are different because of technology and modern conveniences, but the challenge of where we should place our hope and the battle between the true God and rival gods remains. Our times have their own false gods that demand our allegiance and tempt us to turn our eyes away from the living God. We will be looking at a key story each week from the lives of Elijah and Elisha in 1 and 2 Kings. These stories will help us understand and remember how to place our faith firmly in the true God in a time of widespread unbelief.

]]> The stories of Elijah and Elisha are full of powerful encounters between the living God and the human problem of giving our hearts to rival “gods.” The stories from their lives are full of action and drama: fire from heaven, raising the dead, miraculous provision, and chariots of fire. But what do these ancient stories have to say to people living in a modern world?
