Faith Under Fire – Week 1: When Faith Is Called

1 Kings 17:1–7 | Pastor Craig Turnbull

What does real faith look like when life gets difficult?

In Week 1 of our new series Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull introduces us to Elijah, an ordinary man living in one of the most chaotic and spiritually dark seasons in Israel’s history. A time when culture had turned from God, truth was rejected, and pressure to conform was everywhere. And right in the middle of it… God calls.

Elijah’s story reminds us that faith isn’t proven in comfort. It’s revealed under pressure.

When the call to faith comes:

• It will often lead you into difficulty

• It may require you to stand alone

• It demands obedience, not just understanding

• And it always leads to deeper blessing

Elijah wasn’t a hero. He was ordinary. Just like us. But ordinary faith in an extraordinary God changes everything.

This message challenges us to ask:

Where is God calling me to trust Him right now?

And am I willing to answer?

Because faith isn’t just knowing what God says.

It’s stepping out and living like it’s true.

Even when it’s hard.

Even when it doesn’t make sense.

Even when it costs something.

If you’ve been feeling pressure, uncertainty, or hesitation in your faith, this message will help you refocus, take your next step, and hold on to the only One who never moves.

When faith is called… will you answer?
