When Hope Runs Thin
In this sermon we named the ache so many are feeling and called it what it is. Elijah stood tall on Mount Carmel, then collapsed under a broom tree when nothing changed. God met him not with fireworks but with bread, water, and a quiet i am here, then sent him back to share the work. We traced that same arc in William Wilberforce, whose long defeats gave way when a circle of friends would not let him carry the cause alone. If burnout and hopelessness have been your companions, this message invited you to rest, to listen for God in the silence, and to find your people so the good work can keep going.
