More Than Elijah

Jesus once said that among everyone ever born, no one was greater than John the Baptist. That's a stunning thing to say about a man who wore camel's hair, ate locusts, and spent his whole ministry pointing away from himself. In More Than Elijah, we follow the forerunner God sent to prepare the way for Jesus — and we find that his life keeps holding up a mirror to ours. We'll watch God keep a promise through four hundred years of silence. We'll hear a call to repentance that clears room for grace. We'll learn the surprising joy of stepping aside so that Christ is seen. And we'll face the hard, honest truth that real greatness in God's kingdom is measured by faithfulness, even when it costs everything. John prepared people for the first coming of Jesus. This series invites us to do the same as we wait for His return — to get ready, and to help others get ready, for the King.
