Spring Lake Church – Bellevue
Sermon: Preparing for the Journey
Teacher: Pastor Jeff Lederer
Passages: 1 Kings 19, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

In this message, Pastor Jeff Lederer takes us through 1 Kings 19 and 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 to explore how God meets us in moments of exhaustion, weakness, and silence. We see Elijah, worn out and afraid, encounter God's care and direction in the wilderness, and Paul, grappling with a thorn in the flesh, finding strength through God’s sufficient grace. The journey of faith often begins when we come to the end of ourselves. Key themes include knowing where you are, waiting on the Lord, caring for your embodied soul, and embracing God’s greater purposes.

Wherever you are on your journey, may this message remind you that God is present and faithful, even in the quiet.
