Kingdoms and Crowns - Week 2 Reading: 1 Kings 1 – 18 Title: "The Covenant of Fire" Key Text: 1 Kings 18:20-40 Focus: Elijah calls down fire—a confrontation between false gods and the one true God. Invitation: Am I living an offering of purity and integrity? Theme: God's Refining Fire Purifies and Restores Integrity to His Covenant People Big Idea / Thesis Statement: God’s consuming fire is not merely a display of power, but a refining fire that purifies His people, restores covenant integrity, and calls them back to wholehearted worship. Hebrew Word Study: “Consuming Fire” — אֵשׁ אֹכֵלֶת (Esh Okhelet) • אֵשׁ (Esh) — Fire, symbolizing God’s presence, holiness, judgment, and purification. • אָכַל (Akal) — To consume, devour, to eat up completely. • This imagery is found in Deuteronomy 4:24: “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” • God’s fire is not destructive for destruction's sake—it consumes impurity to restore holiness.
