The sermon is based on the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19:11-13. Elijah's ministry was marked by spectacular demonstrations of God's power, such as calling fire from heaven and shutting up the heavens with his prayers. However, after a great victory on Mount Carmel, Elijah faced a crisis when Queen Jezebel threatened his life. He fled to Mount Horeb, seeking God's guidance and reassurance. God spoke to Elijah in a still, small voice, not in the wind, earthquake, or fire.The sermon highlights that Elijah's ministry relied too heavily on the spectacular displays of power, and God used the crisis to teach him an important lesson. While God may at times perform miracles, He desires humans to be persuaded by His Spirit and Word. The sermon draws parallels with the multitudes who followed Jesus for His miracles and provision of food but abandoned Him when He spoke of deeper spiritual truths.God was in His still, small voice, which brought restoration and edification to Elijah. The sermon emphasizes the importance of seeking God in His Word and listening to His still, small voice. The voice of God can heal, restore, and empower, and we should rely on His Word to persuade souls rather than relying on spectacular acts.The sermon concludes by highlighting how God's voice asked probing questions about Elijah's own conduct and corrected and comforted him. It encourages listeners to separate themselves from the crowds, come to Jesus alone, and wait to hear His still, small voice. The sermon calls for a reliance on the voice of God and persuading others through His Word, rather than relying on the spectacular.
