Giant of Discouragement

June 17, 2018 Speaker: Jay Pound Series: Killing Giants

Scripture: 1 Kings 19

A Recipe for Discouragement (1 Kings 19)

 

  • Elijah feels discouraged, alone and a failure. He is ready to quit (19.4, 10).

 

God Rescues Elijah from Discouragement: 4 Observations

 

  1. God does NOT immediately change Elijah’s circumstances
  2. God is present with Elijah (19.11-13)
  3. God restores Elijah’s vocation (19.15-16)
  4. God enlarges Elijah’s perspective (19. 15-18)


Take Home Idea: We conquer discouragement when we shift our focus from our circumstances to God’s presence and plan.
