Summary

One moment Elijah is standing in victory on Mount Carmel. The next, he’s weary, discouraged, and ready to quit. How do you finish well when life feels heavy and faith feels small? In this finale from 1 Kings 19 through 2 Kings 2, Pastor Joby takes us through Elijah’s last chapters where fear, failure, and frailty meet the faithfulness of God. From the still small voice in the cave to the fiery chariots of heaven, we discover that God is not finished with His people. He calls us to raise up the next generation, to walk in both Word and power, and to trust His promises all the way to the end. If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, or whether God can use you after your darkest days, Elijah’s story is a reminder: it’s not how you start, but how you finish. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: 2 Kings 2:1-14 Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: Hope at Every Stage of Life - John's Story Elijah’s Legacy: Faithfulness, Fruitfulness & Finishing Well - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S22E8 Elijah Sermon Series About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
