Summary

One moment Elijah is calling down fire from heaven. The next, he’s hiding in a cave ready to give up. What happened? In this raw story from 1 Kings 19:8-13, Pastor Matt Carter walks us into Elijah’s dark night of the soul, where fear, anxiety, and depression threatened to undo his faith. We discover that even in the cave, God does not abandon His children. Instead, He pursues Elijah in his failure, restores him with kindness, and redirects him back to his calling. If you have ever felt like you were too weak, too broken, or too far gone for God to use, this message is for you. The story of Elijah shows us the relentless grace of a God who will never let go of His people. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: 1 Kings 19:1-8 Preacher: Pastor Matt Carter 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: From Broken Dreams to Deeper Faith - Chloe’s Story The Dark Night of the Soul - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S22E7 Elijah Sermon Series 🎙️ What We Discuss:00:00 - Welcome & Setup: Elijah at Sinai02:40 - From Bold Prophet to Broken07:18 - The Dark Night of the Soul10:45 - To Horeb: God’s Mountain (1 Kings 19:8)14:06 - God Pursues Us in Our Failure (1 Kings 19:9)19:01 - God Restores Us by His Kindness24:00 - Elijah’s Honest Lament (1 Kings 19:10)26:20 - Fire, Quake, Thunder: How God Met Moses (Exodus 19:17-19)29:23 - Still Small Voice (1 Kings 19:11-13)32:16 - Matt’s Story: Running from the Call49:00 - Closing Prayer About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
