…When You’re Exhausted
If you’re among the millions in our world that feel exhausted and physically spent, you’re in good company. Even the best of God’s people similarly suffered.
The prophet Elijah knew the highs and lows of life. What it was like to be up one day and down the next. To be exhausted, and depleted, and running on empty.
Who hasn’t been there? Maybe you’re there right now. Hurting. Exhausted. Spent. Rung out. Feeling like you can’t go on. In need of hope? You could find it this Sunday as we learn from the life and times of Elijah.
From Series: "Replenished"
This Week's Sermon: " …When You’re Isolated”
At times life can make you want to get away from everyone and everything. Just you and your thoughts. You and the Lord. After all, even the Lord modeled the importance of time alone away from the crowds and daily demands of life. That can be a good thing.
But sometimes, when we isolate ourselves from others, it can be the opposite of what we need. There are times when we need others to come along side us. To remind us that we’re not alone as we walk through this world. That we need their care, support, and encouragement.
This week the matter of aloneness comes into focus in our Replenished series as we finish our look into the life and ministry of Elijah. He had something to learn about aloneness that was essential for seeing God’s best in his life. And so do we.
