Series Title: "A Beautiful Mess"
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-16
Message: "Elijah: Saved By A Sacred Pause"
Pastor Paul Arnold
Exhaustion can skew our perspectives about people, problems, and about life itself. It happened to the Old Testament prophet, Elijah. Right after winning a great victory over the prophets of Baal, Elijah found himself in another highly stressful situation. As a result, the prophet got so drained and depressed that he wanted his life to be over. This Sunday, August 16, we will consider how God brought Elijah back from the brink.

Wesley Covenant Group Study begins the Week of August 23
One of the ways we increase our understanding of the words of Jesus is by better understanding what His life, death and resurrection was fulfilling. This fall we’ll look at the two books authored by the prophet Samuel with exploration of God’s holy purpose, the nature of sin, God’s awesome power, the gift of God’s Spirit, obedience to God, the nature of revelation, confidence in God, and politics and faith. Join us for this study by signing up via the link below or in person on August 16 before or after the service. For questions, please email cbeyler1023@gmail.com or contact the church office.
