"Benefits of Change"

1 Kings 17:8-24

Bryan Jones

 

Are you in a season of disappointment, change or pain? Has it been a week, a year or decade of confusion? We all face tough times, but we don’t have to let it be wasted. This Sunday we are going to look at something a lot of people don’t talk about – the benefits of pain and disappointment.

Did you know God can shape us through difficult times? God used Elijah to show us how we can look to God, even when it doesn’t make sense. It’s a fact of life that the wind and waves will come, but in 1 Kings 17 Elijah learned that there were amazing things that can come out of seasons of disappointment, change and pain. Is God trying to get you to look beyond your circumstance? Maybe he wants you to look past the wind and waves in front of you. Will you bring your sorrow before the Lord? Will you let God shape you?

I hope you will join me this Sunday as we talk about the benefits of pain and disappointment.
