WHERE IS GOD?


2 KINGS 2:1-14 esp. v. 14                                             
Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. WHAT GOD?

 

1. The Powerful God [v. 8, read up on Elijah- you’ll see…]

The God that can withhold/give rain, provide sustenance during famine, raise the dead, send fire, protect his servants…

2. The Personal God [v. 9-14, 1 Kings 18:36]  

3. The Promise Keeping God [v. 10, 14; 1 Kings 18:31]

 

II. WHERE IS GOD?

 

1.  God is Seated on His Throne [v. 14]

Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

Psalm 47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

2. God is Seeking  His Own [2 Chronicles 16:9]

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

3.  God is Saving Sinners [Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.]

 

III. HOW DO I FIND GOD?

 

1. A Godly Desire [v. 1-6, Phil. 3:7-8]

2. A Deep Devotion [v. 7-10, Phil. 3:8-10]

3. A Passionate Dedication [v. 11-14, Phil. 3:11-21]
