Chapel | November 2nd, 2026 | Shawn Rinehart | Looking Around Nearly Ruined Me | Psalm 73

Folks… the goodness you see at the cross. And…the EVIL of man… that you see at the cross! But… there's one last thing that I want you to see. Last week… we talked about the placing of these two trees. And we also talked about… the purpose of these two trees. But this morning… I want you to see the power of these two trees.

This sermon explores the narrative of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 to address the deep weariness and despair that often accompany spiritual service and personal struggle. It highlights how even great faith can be overshadowed by fear and disappointment, urging believers to recognise their human limitations and dependence on divine grace. The message emphasises God's patient care, illustrated by the provision of food and rest, and His correction of distorted perspectives through the revelation of the 'still small voice.' Ultimately, the sermon directs the audience beyond mere emotional relief to the sufficiency of Christ, asserting that true hope is found not in circumstantial stability but in the unchanging faithfulness of God and the finished work of Jesus.

This sermon emphasizes the sufficiency and authority of the Bible as the sole source for learning how to love and obey God, urging believers to continue in the truths they have learned from childhood. It highlights that the Scriptures are divinely inspired, making them capable of producing wisdom unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ rather than merely providing moral instruction or academic knowledge. The message confronts the tendency to reject biblical correction or treat the Bible as a selective tool, instead calling for a heart that receives the Word as truth that exposes sin and points to the Savior. By illustrating the difference between knowing facts and receiving the Gospel, the sermon invites listeners to repent, trust in Christ's atoning work, and allow the Bible to correct their thinking and habits. Ultimately, it calls for a life of obedience where the Holy Spirit guides believers to understand and apply God's truth in every aspect of their daily existence.
