The Voices We Listen To

Apr 15, 2026    Brad Hainje

In the aftermath of the great victory at Mount Carmel, we find the prophet Elijah in an unexpected place: fleeing for his life and sinking into deep despair. Even the most faithful servants of God are not immune to the exhaustion of the spiritual wilderness.


In this week's message, we walk through 1 Kings 19, exploring Elijah’s journey from the broom tree to the cave at Mount Horeb. We serve a God who does not rebuke His weary children, but instead provides nourishment, rest, and a "still, small voice" that redirects our hearts back to His sovereign plan.

The Remnant: Finding hope in the truth that we are never truly alone in our stand for righteousness.
