Elijah thought he was done—alone, exhausted, and ready to quit. But God didn’t show up with fire or thunder; He came in a whisper, asking, “What are you doing here?” This message is for anyone stuck in the same script, believing the same lie—because sometimes the most loving thing God does is rebuke us… and then call us to stand again.

What do you do when you're done—when exhaustion, disappointment, and fear have pushed you to the edge? In one of the most vulnerable moments of Elijah’s story, we find a God who doesn’t condemn, but supplies a meal, provides rest, and reminds us the journey’s not over. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, join us this Sunday and discover how Jesus shows up in the wilderness, not with rebuke, but with life.

There is a showdown on Mt. Carmel. Elijah faces off with the prophets of Baal and it’s gonna be fire! Grab your Bible, turn to 1 Kings 18, and hear the prayer Elijah prayed - a prayer that James references as a model for us. Come along with us and see how God prepares us through faithfulness, challenges us at the crossroads of culture and conviction, and teaches us that the most powerful prayers are often the quietest.

In 1 Kings 18 we find a land devastated and scorched by 3½ years of drought, God sends Elijah to deliver a promise of rain—but first comes a confrontation with sin, idolatry, and spiritual decay. As Obadiah quietly resists from within the palace and Elijah boldly steps into danger, we see a powerful collision between mercy and truth. This message reveals how God often allows dryness not to punish us, but to wake us—inviting us to return to Him before the rain falls.

Pastor Alan Beauchamp walks us into the chaos of ancient Israel—assassinations, civil war, and idol worship—where one unlikely man dares to confront the king and challenge the god of rain. In a world ruled by power and politics, Elijah quietly appears and starts a journey of bold faith, miraculous provision, and unexpected revival. Pastor Alan’s message isn’t just a history lesson—it’s the start of a faith story that reminds us God often does His deepest work in the most desperate places.

What if the resistance you’re facing isn’t a sign of failure, but proof of your identity in Christ? Pastor Alan reminds us that we don’t fight for our identity—we fight from it, resting in what Jesus has already finished, walking it out daily, and standing firm when the pressure comes. You are who He says you are—now live like it.

In the wilderness, people left behind their routines and reputations to confess their sins and step into muddy waters—not for tradition, but transformation. John the Baptist called for real repentance, and Jesus, though sinless, led the way in obedience, showing us that baptism is not about ritual but surrender. It’s not the water that makes us new—it’s the decision to trust, obey, and follow the One who stepped in first.

You are not just someone who goes to church—you are the church, the living, breathing sanctuary of God’s presence. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, meaning every step you take is on holy ground and every interaction is a chance to reflect God’s love. Your life isn’t divided into sacred and secular—it’s all sacred now, because you are the temple.

Baptism isn’t just a religious ritual — it’s God’s way of declaring over your life, “This is who you are now.” It's not just about checking a box; it’s about putting on Christ, stepping into a new identity, and finding your place in the family of God. Pastor Alan explores how rituals like baptism and communion don’t just remind us of our faith — they form us into who God says we are.

When Jesus returned to His hometown, He wasn’t met with celebration—He was met with skepticism. Even His own brother, James, didn’t believe… until one life-changing moment with the risen Jesus rewrote everything. This message explores how the power of the resurrection transforms familiarity into faith and invites every skeptic, every doubter, and every distant heart into a brand new story.
