Elijah: The God Who Brings Life - Chris Dillon, Lead Paster 09 20 26

God’s blessings do not exempt us from testing, and the presence of trouble does not mean that God has left us. Like the widow in 1 Kings 17, a test can tempt us to doubt God’s goodness, question His intentions, and interpret our circumstances through the lens of fear or guilt. Yet we are never alone in the test, because God makes His presence known through His Spirit, His Word, and the people He places around us. Instead of allowing the test to drive us away from God, we can use it as an opportunity to press more deeply into His presence through honest, persistent prayer. Ultimately, our tests can become platforms through which God displays His sustaining grace, transforming power, and unfailing faithfulness.
