Out of the Cave Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video: How Elijah Embraced God's Hope When Darkness Was All He Could See

How to embrace God's hope. . .even when darkness is all you can see.

Even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions, loneliness, and depression.In this five-session video Bible study (streaming included), bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges explores the story of the prophet Elijah to reveal how everyone is susceptible to feelings of depression. But Elijah's story reveals that we don't have to stay there! We serve a God who meets us in the darkness.

In the book of 1 Kings, the prophet Elijah had just experienced a great victory over the prophets of Baal. God had shown his glory and power before the people. But it only took a death threat from a wicked queen to send Elijah fleeing for his life into the wilderness. And it was there that he fell into a state of depression, praying that he might die and suffering in his loneliness. . .
