Ps Joel looks at a story of Elijah in our Remnant series as we think about how to respond in times that are overwhelming.

Check out the Whiteboard image from tonight here

“One of the general characteristics of a time of transition is the fact that we can’t go back but we don’t know how to go forward. And it creates this time of uncertainty, even a time of isolation. We often don’t like those moments and we want to get out of them as quickly as we can. But the reality is that if we look back on many, many years of how God shapes leaders –even biblically and historically –we want out of transitions, but God wants in. One of the things that is good about transition is the ability to have him refine us, and take us to a new place, deeper into our dependence on him, and what that typically yields is a greater ability to minister for him. The very thing we resist sometimes is the very thing he is trying to do to align us with him and grant us more of his presence. Because personal renewal leads to corporate change. Instead of resisting it, move toward it.” - Terry Walling
