Elijah was a messenger of God, and the story of his own life of faith is a message for us today. During the evil rule of King Ahab and Jezebel, Elijah had great victories like defeating the priests of Baal. Yet despite that victory, he ran away in fear, wanting to die soon after. Elijah was not perfect, but his devotion to God did not waver, and when he faltered, God restored him and continued to use him. Elijah learned that God is not only in the incredible and powerful events, but He is ...

With the kings of Judah and Israel, the pattern has always been that when the leadership is corrupt, it trickles down. Focusing on the period of 930-900 B.C., we see how God used prophets to rebuke kings in an effort to get them back on track. It took courage and faith for these prophets to communicate a hard message from God. Not every leader received His correction, but the record shows that those who did, He was merciful to help and deliver. In this day and age, God is still looking fo...

Incidents in the lives of King David and King Jeroboam show that God sometimes uses prophets to bring our sins to light. It takes courage and loyalty for a prophet to speak an unpopular truth. Both kings had tried to cover up their sins, but it is impossible to hide our sins from God. God wants us to come to Him and be honest. VF-2533.

The caricature of prophets has hurt the entire church. To get a clearer picture of what a true prophet of God looks like, we turn to the early prophets of the Old Testament: specifically, Miriam, Deborah, Samuel, and an unknown prophet in the book of Judges. Their character and function varied, but they all had one thing in common: they got their messages and directives from God. VF-2532.

To discern between a true prophet and a false one, you must know God’s word. False prophets are always plentiful, and they tell the people what they want to hear rather than the truth of God’s word. The rare true prophet directs people back to the Lord, and is willing to stand and speak the truth in love, no matter the consequences. Deuteronomy 18:20-22. VF-2531.

When we look at the prophets of old, there’s no question that much of our understanding about modern-day prophets is erroneous. Contrary to popular belief, the vast majority of Old Testament prophets did not look into a crystal ball to divine the future. They were men who were used as mouthpieces to utter God’s message in words or in actions that held symbolic meaning. In this message, Pastor Scott dives into the Hebrew words for “prophet” and the Old Testament examples that reveal the defini...
