Welcome to Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin.

The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And we're praying this message helps you deepen your relationship with him.

Now let's dive in.

I would like to start today with Pastor Britt singing as rendition of Days of Elijah.

Oh, man.

Oh, man, you'd have to get me started.

These are the days of Elijah.

I'm going to think of it the whole series.

You have to get me started in key, only for me to fall out quickly.

Oh, boy.

Hey, what a powerful service. Man, week three of Elijah, and being in an

impossible situation. And it seems like that resonates with people, I mean, because we've,

you've preached kind of from that place multiple times, right? Of course. Like, and Wrote a chapter of a book on it. Yeah, it's like, I think everybody can kind of relate to feeling that. What does Elijah mean? His name? Praise God. Praise God. Eli? John. I know that's Yah. Or Yahweh as God. Or Yah is like a name for God. They're going to, when we get to calling down the fire on the, on the province of bail, everybody there, it'll say like, whatever they say, Yahweh's God. They're saying his name. They're going, Eli Jah, Eli Jah, Eli Jah, Eli, Eli, Jah. It's kind of a cool, little twist. Like a chance. Yeah. Everyone was a can't do my name. But, um, listen, man, part of the reason you do this over and over and over from a bunch of different text is, I mentioned it. We are all heading into a valley, in one, coming out of one. one i mean it's just the part of the rhythm of

life like what'd your dad say in your mom's funeral life's hard god's good something to that effect

yeah life is hard god is good right so both of those things are true at the same time they actually

shine light on each other you know and? And that's it, man.

So I mentioned it briefly. If you're in a sweet spot, so as of this second that I'm

saying this out loud, I'm in a pretty sweet spot. But this is the kind of thing that you put a little

asterisk on, because you might need to come back

and listen to it now i mentioned a bunch of times in the past few years or 15 years really

where i was in a place asking god all kind of questions even though i know the theological answers
