The Point of Today’s Lesson is: GOD IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THOSE WHO OPPOSE US. Today’s lesson reminds us that no matter the strength or strategy of our enemies, God’s wisdom and power will always prevail—just as He demonstrated through the prophet Elisha and Israel when faced with overwhelming opposition.

I have 3 points:

1. He Knows Our Hidden Thoughts // 2 Kings 6:8–12 God’s knowledge is so complete that even the secret plans of our enemies are exposed before Him.
2. He Opens Our Eyes to See // 2 Kings 6:15–17 When fear surrounds us, God gives spiritual insight to recognize that His power is greater than what we see.
3. He Enables Us to Bless Our Enemies // 2 Kings 6:18–23 Rather than seeking revenge, God empowers us to show mercy and extend grace—even to those who seek to harm us.

While I unpack the scripture, I want you to consider this question: HOW DOES GOD’S KNOWLEDGE AND POWER PREVAIL IN THE FACE OF OPPOSITION AGAINST ME? Today’s lesson comes from Lifeway Adults YOU Bible Study, (p. 91) SPRING 2025

The Point of Today’s Lesson is: GOD BLESSES AS WE SERVE OTHERS. When we make ourselves available to meet someone else's need, we become instruments of God's hand—carrying out His divine purpose and often receiving unexpected blessings in return.

I have 3 points to make:

1. Look for Opportunities to Be a Blessing (2 Kings 4:8–10) – Like the Shunammite woman, be ready and willing to serve others without being asked.
2. Focus Less on Your Own Needs (2 Kings 4:11–17) – True service comes from a heart that gives without expecting anything in return.
3. Trust in the Power of God (2 Kings 4:32–37) – God can work miracles through us when we serve in faith and obedience.

While I unpack the scripture, I want you to consider this question: How can I find ways to serve others as a believer? Today’s lesson comes from YOU Bible Study, Summer 2025
