Podcasts about 1 kings 19

The talk from our evening service on 19th July 2026.

Don't want to sound crazy but if I were your enemy, I think my tactic would be to make sure that you were living your life always in a hurry and never in rest. I would take something neutral and not even sinful like work, family, stress, success, and technology and let a hurried pace steal, kill, or even destroy your soul; a soul that requires rest. Our hurried pace is affecting our spiritual vitality and it's affecting our witness to a culture who is looking for and needing rest. This summer, we can either escape or we can learn to get away and find rest because when God's people are at rest, other weary souls can find rest in Him too.

by Elder Ben Shettles (preached on June 14, 2026) As we began to see in the first half of this powerful sermon by Elder Ben Shettles, sometimes we find ourselves sitting under a juniper tree like Elijah, experiencing spiritual depression and despair. Almost always, this is the result of forgetting what God has done for...

We often hear of experiences with “the still small voice”.  It's even more cool to see where the concept originated and what we can learn from it.If you'd like to view the video that goes with the podcast, click here!

by Elder Ben Shettles (preached on June 14, 2026) Have you ever found yourself in a state of spiritual depression? Have you ever thought that you’ve had enough, that you just can’t carry on anymore? If you have, you are in good company. A man named Elijah found himself under the juniper tree, in a...

Daily Dose of Hope June 25, 2026   Scripture:  1 Kings 19   Prayer: Holy God, We come before you this morning in awe of your blessings and love.  Thank you, Lord, for the ways you continue to guide our lives.  Lord, we want more intimacy with you.  We are desperate to know you better.  In these next few moments of silence, Jesus, please speak to us.  We need to hear your voice...  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  This summer, we are working our way through the Old Testament books of 1 & 2 Kings.  Today's reading is 1 Kings 19. This is a great chapter.  Elijah has been doing God's work and things have gotten really hard and really scary.  After he kills the prophets of Baal, Ahab's wife, Jezebel, decides that Elijah needs the same fate.  This is kind of the last draw for him.  He sits down and tells God that he wants to die.  Enough is enough.  He is tired and depressed.  Maybe you have been there.     But what I love is how God cares for Elijah.  He sends an angel who makes sure that Elijah has food, drink and sleep.  Then, he instructs Elijah that its time he mentors a younger prophet.  He tells him exactly where to go and what to do.  Now, Elisha will come on the scene and provide the support and succession plan that Elijah needs.  When we do God's work, every one of us needs to be sure we are taking care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.  How easy it is to give, give, give, and work, work, work, without taking time for Sabbath and self-care.  Why do pastors burn out so quickly?  Why do some churches have such a problem with turnover?  Because this is not easy work.  In ministry, you give of yourself.  You can feel isolated.  You may deal with a lot of criticism and complaining.  While most of us who make ministry our profession don't get death threats like Elijah, the stress is heavy.  I see this in ministry volunteers as well.  God knew exactly what Elijah needed and he knows what we need.  Rest is huge – Sabbath is essential.  It's actually a commandment, but it's one we too often ignore.  We would never think of ignoring the other commandments, but Sabbath seems to be something we rationalize away.  We can't – we weren't designed to constantly work.  Taking care of our physical bodies and our emotions is also critical.  And what about our spiritual disciplines?  Ministry without abiding with Jesus is not really ministry, it's just doing tasks.  That's a real recipe for burn-out! I also think it's important to think succession plan.  Elijah knew it was time to train up a successor.  None of us are so important that we should think the church or the Kingdom can't get by without us.  It was never about us in the first place!  It's always been about Jesus.  We can all be replaced and it's our job as a leader to find someone to apprentice, to guide, and to mentor.  More on Elijah, Elisha, and Ahab tomorrow. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

After one of the greatest victories of his life, Elijah found himself discouraged, afraid, exhausted, and hiding in a cave. In 1 Kings 19, we discover a powerful truth: God does not abandon His children in their moments of weakness. Instead, He meets them where they are, restores them, and calls them back to His purpose. If you've ever struggled with disappointment, fear, isolation, depression, regret, or unmet expectations, this message is for you. The same God who sought out Elijah is still calling His people out of hiding today. The cave may offer temporary comfort, but it can never provide lasting purpose. God did not create His people to hide in fear, disappointment, or complacency. He calls us to hear His voice, trust His plan, and step back into the abundant life He has prepared for us. "Come out of that cave!"

Preached by Dillon Patrick on Sunday, June 14, 2026. 

After experiencing the power and authority of the God of Israel on top of Mount Carmel, where fire fell from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice, the prophet runs to Jezreel ahead of King Ahab. Upon hearing Jezebel's threats to execute him, Elijah then flees in despair to a distant mountaintop. Later, King Ahab of Israel goes to battle with Ben-Hadad of Aram. The Lord sends an unnamed prophet to alert Ahab that the Lord will win the battle for Israel so that Ahab will know that He alone is God over the whole earth. Then, when Ahab disobeys the Lord's command and spares Ben-Hadad instead of destroying him, the Lord sends another unnamed prophet to pronounce judgment. 1 Kings 19 – 1:09 .  1 Kings 20 – 6:35 .  Psalm 94 – 18:23 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this message, we recognize that God doesn't always do what we tell him to do. And that's a very good thing!

06/14/2026 1 Kings 19Under Pressure | The Pressure Is Real, God's Presence Is GreaterBIG IDEA: What feels like breaking down may actually be God building you up.Pressure is not proof that God has abandoned you. Don't avoid the pressure, learn how God shows up in it.Four things Elijah learned in his weakness:1. Pressure reveals what success conceals. Pressure revealed Elijah's fear, isolation and his distorted perspective. Burnout often causes us to make permanent conclusions based on temporary feelings.2. God often cares for us before He corrects us. God understands that weary people often need rest before they need answers.3. God's power may amaze, but His presence transforms. When exhaustion takes over, feelings often become louder than facts. It's not about God's power, it's about His presence.4. God uses pressure to prepare us. God often uses pressure to move us from seeking His power to resting in His presence.In the face of pressure and burnout:1. Stop seeing your exhaustion as failure. (should've, would've, could've)2. Don't miss God's presence because you're looking for His power. God usually shows up in the quiet times.3. Trust and rest in the fact that God is doing more than you can see.

After the spiritual triumph of Mount Carmel, Elijah faced fierce opposition and overwhelming fear. In 1 Kings 19, Scripture reveals how even faithful servants of God can become discouraged when the hostility of the world becomes personal and intense.This sermon explores:• Why the world does not rejoice over revival• The spiritual hostility behind opposition to God's work• How fear causes us to lose sight of God's power• God's unchanging presence in moments of weakness and despair• Why God's purposes are greater than our limited perspectiveThough Elijah feared Jezebel's threats, God had neither abandoned His prophet nor lost control of history. The Lord who sent fire on Carmel also met Elijah in the wilderness and reminded him that His power and purposes remain unchanged.Scripture: 1 Kings 19To learn more, visit BenSmithSr.org.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed? There are just so many things going on in your life, in your head, in your heart and some days it feels like it's too much. What happens when you're feeling overwhelmed? How do you react? God is with you even when you're overwhelmed. God meets you when you're overwhelmed and stays with you. Today Pastor J shares a message of encouragement for us when we are feeling overwhelmed with life.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, May 17, 2026, with Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

In Greek mythology, after leading his fellow titans in a revolt against the Olympian gods, Atlas was condemned to hold up the heavens for all eternity. Over the centuries, the details of the story got kind of mixed up, so when we now think of Atlas holding something, we picture him holding the whole world. He's, as we say, “carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.”  We, however, carry the weight of the world, not on our shoulders, but in our pockets. Every injustice, every catastrophe, every outrage, piped directly to us, fast and loud.  How then do we hear the still small voice of God beneath the noise of it all? To find assurance, comfort, direction, the next step, when it's all too much?

Depression.  It can come upon anyone, even a powerful prophet like Elijah.  What causes depression and how can we combat it?  In this message of hope from Pastor Jeff Schreve, you'll learn how to pinpoint the probable cause of your depression and how to get your eyes off yourself and your problems and escape the cave of depression.

When discouragement takes hold, it often fills our minds with lies—telling us our situation is hopeless and that God has forgotten us. In this powerful message, Pastor Jeff Schreve reveals how Elijah fell into this trap after focusing on fear instead of faith. Discover how to recognize the enemy's lies, replace them with God's truth, and find hope even in life's darkest valleys.

1 Kings 19:14-21

Elijah stood boldly on Mount Carmel and witnessed one of the greatest miracles in Scripture—yet shortly afterward he collapsed into deep despair. In this powerful message, Pastor Jeff Schreve explores the surprising reality that even the strongest believers can struggle with discouragement and depression. Discover what Elijah's dark valley teaches us about exhaustion, fear, and how God gently restores His weary servants.

Daily Evening Prayer (5/7/26): from Trinity Anglican Church (Connersville, IN) Psalm 37; 1 Kings 19; Matthew 6; Metrical Psalm 19:7-10, and a brief reading from the Books of Homilies7 God's perfect law converts the soul, reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom his sure word the ignorant inspires. 8 The statutes of the Lord are just, and bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, assist the feeblest sight. 9 His perfect worship here is fixed, on sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales of truth and justice weighed. 10 Of more esteem than golden mines, or gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops that from the comb distil.

It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.The Village Churchvillagersonline@gmail.comMore information at www.villagersonline.com

In a world that often equates God's presence with the loud and dramatic, this guided Lectio Divina invites you to encounter Him in a different way—in the quiet whisper.

With gentle guidance, spacious silence, and soft ambient music, this experience creates room for personal awareness and spiritual connection.Whether you're new to Lectio Divina or returning to a familiar practice, this guided time offers a meaningful way to quiet the noise, hear God's voice, and carry His whisper with you into your day.
