You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Serve God.

It isn't always easy to serve our God in a culture that is alternately ambivalent and hostile toward him, especially when we ourselves are so flawed. We're not the first ones to face this challenge. In fact, Elijah--one of the most important prophets in history--faced the same struggle. Although he was outnumbered, misunderstood, insecure, and often fearful, he found power in obedience and prayer--and you can, too. Discover how you can obey and follow God even with your weaknesses in Elijah: Obedience in a Threatening World.

10 studies for individuals or groups.
Robbie Castleman is an associate professor of biblical studies and theology at John Brown University. She has written numerous studyguides, including King David and Elijah. Robbie is married to Rev. D. Breck Castleman, and they have two grown sons. View titles by Robbie Castleman
