The Message this Week

Preaching Text: 1 Kings 19:1-18

Elijah loses hope. If you've ever lost hope, you may be leaning in to hear how God speaks to Elijah at his hopeless moment. First God feeds Elijah and lets him rest. Then Elijah goes on a long, solitary journey. Finally, Elijah hears God's voice. What does God say?

God of Hope, we may not realize that we have a well-defined idea of hope until we find ourselves hopeless. The story of Elijah invites us to open our hearts to see and hear hope in surprising ways and places. Maybe we'll even see hope in a manger. In Jesus' name, Amen.

• Move through us with boldness so that we proclaim the gospel of Christ throughout the world. Renew and revive pastors, deacons, and lay leaders.
• God of the beginning, give us the courage to advocate for environmental policy that will ensure a viable future for generations to come. Restore desolate places to flourishing health.
• God of all our days, guide the leaders of governments, nations, municipalities, and all those seeking office. Accompany election officials and volunteers. Dismantle injustice and oppression wherever it is found.
• God of comfort in troubled times, we pray for those in need of protection and care, especially Lee Sprague. Trusting that you are constant in mercy, protect those who seek safety and solace.
• God of what is yet to come, encourage and inspire those who give their time, talent, and treasure in service to your church. By their commitment, further the work of ministry in this place and uplift your gospel.
• God of time and space, we give thanks for the faithful departed. Sustain us in hope of our eternal unity in Christ.

We offer these and all our prayers to you, O God, trusting in your grace and unyielding love; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
