Welcome to Transformation Church podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ.

We're so glad you're here, and wherever you're listening from, we believe God will transform your life through today's message.

I want to just jump straight in to the Word this morning. Can we do that? We're going to jump straight in the

word. So I need you to pull out your Bibles if you have them, okay? Because we're going to spend a little

bit of time talking about a guy named Elijah. Okay? We're going to talk about Elijah. And here's a funny fact.

Again, I'll be hot. I'm going to be telling on myself all sermons. Is that cool? Can I just tell

on myself? Okay. I have always been intimidated about preaching about Elijah because of

Elijah. Okay. Now, if you don't know, there's an Elijah and there's Elijah. And I never wanted to

preach about it because I was like, I just feel like I start to sound silly

and I forget who's elijah and sir and I put an emphasis on the shah and I just get all lost and

confused and I'm like I'm just not touching it I'm not doing it I'm not going to preach it but guess what

today we're talking about Elijah and we don't even have to talk about Elijah today okay I want you

Elijah shut see I'm doing it already. Get in First Kings

and read about him, but today we are specifically talking about Elijah. All right, if you got

your Bibles, go ahead and open up to First Kings 19 is where we're going to be hanging out for a

second. First Kings 19, three through four.

Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Bersheba in a town in Judah, and he left

his servant there. Then he went on alone into the wilderness traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary

broom tree and he prayed that he might die. I've had enough, Lord, he said, take my life,

for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.

God, use this portion of scripture, use this word to speak to your people. I love you. It's in the

mighty name of Jesus. We pray. Amen. Now, we have now entered into the scene with Elijah where he is done. He's thrown in the towel.
