Identity and happiness are two of our culture's greatest obsessions. 2,000 years ago, the same was true for the Apostle Paul. His insight reverberates across the centuries in ways that are astonishingly applicable today.

Life in exile can be incredibly difficult. It is costly and it can easily shake one's faith in God. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were somehow able to hold firmly to their convictions and dedicate themselves to the "God who is Able", even in the face of almost certain death. How did they do it?

Following Jesus isnt always convenient and easy. More often than not, Jesus will invite you into inconvenient situations that stretch and challenge you. Yet, as we find out in this stand-alone message, on the other side of inconvenience is the life you are looking for.

Message by guest speaker Andre Lesur

To live a life of power and purpose is about more than agreeing with God and his teaching. Its about investing your life in what ultimately matters, without hesitation.

Elijah's journey of faith and obedience to God is full of miracles and even personal struggle. His encounter with God reminds us the power of God is shown in many forms.

When Elijah hits rock bottom and has had enough, its easy to think Gods presence and

power will be absent. We couldnt be more wrong. In fact, it is Elijahs humanity and

weakness that invites Gods power to come once again.

On Pentecost Sunday, we often ask for the fire of God to fall down. More realistically, we want the rain of God to fall down; we often don't want the fire. As Elijah's time on Mount Carmel comes to a close, we'll see that we need both. In fact, the fire of God leads to the rain of God; the destructive, cleansing power of God leads to the blessing of God.

Everybody worships. The question is: who or what has our worship? As we return to the contest on Mount Carmel, well see that the fire of worship is lit when we pay attention to the altars in our lives.
