Everybody needs somebody in your life who cares enough about you to pick up a burden

that's too heavy for you to have.

But Dr. Tony Evans says in order to get help we need to give help.

He can use you for somebody now.

Somebody's going to need to be used for you later when your world collapsed.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

Author, speaker, senior pastor of Oakcliffe Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas,

and president of the Urban Alternative.

When it feels like you have nothing left to give, Dr. Evans says one final investment

may be exactly what it takes to turn everything around.

He'll explain as he takes us to First Kings chapter 17 for today's message.

Every coach in the NFL has a red flag.

This red flag is known as a challenge flag.

He throws the red flag out on the field when he disagrees with the call.

When he thinks that the official has made a mistake.

If the truth be told, we want to throw out our red flag and say,

God, you blew this one.

You didn't make a good call.

I don't like the call you made.

I don't like the thing you did.

I don't like what you allowed.

I don't like it.
