In this final teaching from our series through the book of James, Pastor J.D. Greear reminds us that in the end, we can be encouraged that God does indeed hear the prayers of his children, and it is often through them that he chooses to accomplish his work on earth.

What do you think a “blessed life” looks like? Wealth? Health? A happy family? Pastor J.D. describes what it looks like to be blessed by God, and explains how we can make room for him to move in our lives! It’s part of our study of the prophet Elisha titled, Something Greater.

Making Room for the Greater Things

Most decisions in life are reversible. Take choosing a college, for example. If you don’t like it after a semester or two, you can always transfer! And the same goes for your major, your career, and where you choose to live. But as he continues our series called, Something Greater, Pastor J.D. describes one decision that needs to be all in, no holds barred, and no going back!

Burn the Plows: The Call of Elisha, Part 2

Most of us would say we want to be used by God. But Pastor J.D. is challenging us to consider whether or not we’re really willing to take up our cross and follow wherever God leads. As we wrap up First Kings, we’re shifting our focus from the prophet Elijah to his protégé, Elisha. It’s the first message in the second half of our two-part series called, Something Better | Something Greater.

Burn the Plows: The Call of Elisha

First Kings Chapter 18 records a definite high point in the life of the prophet Elijah, when he faced off against the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. God came through for Elijah in an awesome way, and the people repented and turned back to the One True God! It was an amazing victory. But then, things seemed to go downhill. Pastor J.D. picks up the story as Elijah is on the run for his life and is dealing with some heavy emotions. We’re looking at the biblical response to depression as we continue our series called, Something Better.

When Godly People Get Depressed, Part 2

Depression is stigmatized in a lot of Christian circles. We either avoid the topic entirely, or we talk about it in hushed, shameful tones. We act as if believers are just supposed to be happy-go-lucky all the time. But Pastor J.D. reveals that reality isn’t that simple! We’re discovering the biblical response for when Christians go through depression. It’s part of our study of the Prophet Elijah called, Something Better. We’re picking up the story after Elijah’s victory over the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel.
