In this Sunday morning episode, Pastor Greg Laurie offers an encouraging message from 1 Kings. With Elijah, we learn that everyone faces trials, but we can trust God to show us the way through them. Listen in for more!

Notes

God told Elijah to “hide himself.”

This move was for Elijah's preservation and preparation.

We learn things in deserts we do not learn anywhere else.

Better to be in a valley or a desert with Jesus than anywhere else without Him.

There has to be a cross before there can be a crown.

God allows trials in our lives so we will grow up spiritually.

God allows hardships to show us His power.

Trials and testing produce a necessary quality in our lives.

You can never be too small for God to use, only too big.

An important lesson: “With God nothing is impossible.”

We need to trust God in everything.

God loves to take what we have and multiply it.

God says the same to each of us, “Give Me your son, your daughter, your marriage. Give Me your problems, your fears, your anxiety.”

Scripture Referenced

James 1:2
