When You Feel Like Giving Up

This past Sunday, August 1, at Brooklife Church, I concluded our “Beyond Ordinary” series on the life of Elijah. We were looking at 1 Kings 19, where Elijah feels like giving up.

Looking at the fear and exhaustion that Elijah was experiencing in this chapter, I sketched out five things we can learn from Elijah when we feel like giving up:

1. Talk honestly with God (1 Kings 19:4)
2. Rest (1 Kings 19:5-8a)
3. Listen to God (1 Kings 19:9b-18)
4. Take the First Step of Obedience (1 Kings 19:19)
5. Return to where we know we can hear from God (1 Kings 19:8-9)
