“Resetting for Resilience”

“Resetting for Resilience”

Have you ever been working on an important project when all of a sudden your computer freezes up? What about that frustrating thing your phone does where you try to open an app, but it immediately closes and refuses to be used? How about sitting…

“Letting Go to Take Hold”

“Letting Go to Take Hold”

Your past is the raw material God uses to shape your life into a unique and powerful story that can give hope to others. Without your specific past, you wouldn’t be fully equipped to step into the future God has planned for you! Just like he did…

“Unlearned Helplessness”

“Unlearned Helplessness”

February 27, 2022

In the previous message, we left Elijah in the depth of despair, feeling disillusioned and dejected by God—quite possibly in a state of learned helplessness if we analyze the situation with a lens of modern psychology. Perhaps not unlike you today…

“Enough!”

“Enough!”

February 20, 2022

At this point in Elijah’s story, we find him in some of the darkest depths of discouragement and depression. And it might not make sense, because he’s come off of one of the biggest and most dramatic wins in the bible. This part of Elijah’s…

“God Won’t Give Up On You”

“God Won’t Give Up On You”

February 13, 2022

You’re perhaps familiar with the story of God’s incredible miracle from 1 Kings 18, with Elijah calling fire from heaven, destroying the idol of Baal. In today’s message, we look at that story from the specific angle of considering God’s…

“What’s God Doing?”

“What’s God Doing?”

February 6, 2022

The story of Obadiah (not even the prophet Obadiah, but the Obadiah in Elijah’s narrative) is easy to overlook. It’s tucked away in the shadows between two of the most epic stories in the bible. Yet, this seemingly insignificant story exemplifies…

“God, What’s Next?”

“God, What’s Next?”

January 30, 2022

In the next part of Elijah’s story, God leads Elijah out of the land of Israel and asks what seems impossible. Elijah may very well call into question the provision he’s previously experienced. Like Elijah, perhaps you’re in a position of doubt…

“When the Brook Dries Up”

“When the Brook Dries Up”

January 23, 2022

Elijah’s story illustrates God’s provision to his people, a truth that still applies today. But, God’s provision doesn’t always look like provision in the moment. Sometimes you might miss it if you’re not looking for it. Sometimes, as in Elijah’s…

“God is Available to Us, All of Us, All of the Time”

“God is Available to Us, All of Us, All of the Time”

Do you wish God would speak more often or more loudly into your life? We live in a world filled with noise. Maybe it’s the T.V. we turn on when we get home, the radio in the car, the earbuds we put in as soon as we get to the gym, that playlist of…

“Big Things in Small Ways”

“Big Things in Small Ways”

September 10, 2018

Has God lived up to your expectations? Not all of us can say He has. Maybe you thought He’d do more to help your marriage, your career, or your health by now. Maybe you believe your struggles, or even you yourself, are just too small to bother…
