Minding the Gap
Scripture References:
Intro:
Welcome! This sermon explores trusting God's unchanging faithfulness ("Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever" - Hebrews 13:8), even when facing fear, doubt, or difficult "dry seasons." We often wrestle with trusting God completely, especially when our plans conflict with His or when we face challenges. But God's faithfulness isn't dependent on ours. Even when afraid, we can choose faith. We'll look at Elijah's example in 1 Kings 18 to learn how to "mind the gap" – the space between God's promise and its fulfillment.
Key Points: How Elijah Minded the Gap (1 Kings 18)
Conclusion:
Like Elijah, we face "gaps." We might be tired, afraid, or feel like we're in a drought. But God is always faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Our hope isn't in a specific outcome, but in Him. Don't confuse trusting God with trusting an outcome. In scary moments, like the speaker's experience in Nairobi, we have a choice: faith or fear. Choosing faith, even a tiny amount, allows God to move supernaturally. It's not about denying reality but aligning with heaven's perspective and power.
Call to Action:
In this season, what are you choosing: faith or fear? Do you truly believe God is who He says He is? It's time to mind the gap, get your fight back, and believe God for the impossible again. Stop playing it safe. If you're feeling the weight of fear or discouragement, choose faith. Pray, seek God's perspective, look for His faithfulness, and don't give up. It's time to run the race God has for you, empowered by His Spirit. If you need prayer for overcoming fear or regaining your fight, seek it out.
