A.B. Simpson emphasizes the concept of grace, explaining that it is a divine gift that we do not earn and is given freely, especially when we are at our most helpless. He clarifies that the gospel is not about self-help but about God's assistance to those who cannot help themselves, and that grace empowers individuals to take action. Simpson warns against the misconception that higher blessings in the gospel are reserved for a select few, asserting that God offers His grace equally to all believers. He encourages Christians to embrace the fullness of grace without fear of needing to earn it.

Theodore Epp emphasizes that Elijah, despite being a man of like passions and nature as us, achieved great things through his unwavering faith in God. He reminds us that Elijah's accomplishments are attainable for us today if we trust in God and seek Him earnestly. Epp encourages believers to recognize their shared humanity with Elijah, highlighting that we can also seek God's will and strength in our lives. He reassures us that just as Elijah walked with God, we too have the privilege to do so and can rely on God's promises to empower us. The sermon calls us to believe in our potential to fulfill God's calling in our lives.
