The letters to the Corinthians are the most autobiographical of all Paul's letters. 1 Corinthians 4 deals with the ministry of the Apostles - particularly Paul himself. Verses 1-5 tell us that the Apostle Paul was being accused of being dishonest with the ecclesial funds. Paul declares his innocence. He declares that he is unaware of any fault in matters of money. Paul asks his readers not to judge him. The Apostle says that even in declaring himself innocent his ultimate vindication will come when the Lord Jesus Christ comes as judge and vindicator. Verses 6-7 declare that Paul has transferred the principles to himself and to Apollos. Verses 8-13 the Apostle ironically states that the Corinthians are behaving as if the kingdom has already come. If only that was true, says Paul, for then the Apostles would also be ruling. In contrast Paul declares that the Apostles were being treated as conquered soldiers being paraded as a spectacle before the victorious nation. The Apostles were to be Ill treated and slain as an offering to the gods of the victorious nation. In verses 10-13 Paul declares that no matter how the Apostles are treated they will glory in their Lord and behave as an example of suffering for Christ's sake. Slowly read those verses aloud and ponder what we should endure as witnesses to our Master in this age. Verses 14-20 explain that Paul desires to be a faithful father to the Corinthians and not simply an expositor. The believers in Corinth didn't lack teachers, but fathers were few. Remember that the problem the Corinthians had was fractionally lining up behind prominent personalities. The Apostle hopes that his appeal will persuade his readers and that he will not have to come to them for the disciplining of them. Meditate carefully on verse 20 and reflect whether your life has a pronounced focus on the kingdom of God. Or whether we live lives of luxury as though the kingdom is not a reality! Paul tells them in chapter 5 that in their midst was a case of shameless incest. That case was so bad it that non believers who were living in a depraved and promiscuous Corinthian society would find it disturbing. The Apostle provides advice on dealing with the problem. The faithful must dissociate themselves from the sinful brother in order that his separation from the ecclesia might cause him to reflect on the error of his ways and to repent and once again seek for forgiveness and fellowship with the family of God. Paul says that the response within the ecclesia is wrong and rather than deal with the situation that the believers had chosen a path of indifference. The effect of such tolerance is like a leavening influence that would soon permeate the entire ecclesia. When the problem is properly handled the believers will be able to partake of the love feast of bread and wine representing Christ's offering - he being the Passover lamb - as they need to, ie in sincerity and truth. In verses 9-13tells the Apostle says that his demand to remove wickedness from the ecclesia is specific to the situation with the Corinthian body of believers. Non association with evil people would mean entirely removing ourselves from the world, ie becoming hermits. This would be a failure on the part of believers to be light bearers to the world. However we must live holy lives as a witness to whom we have believed and followed, ie our Lord Jesus Christ: Ephesians 5 verses 1-18. Carefully consider these words and live our lives in conformity with the Christ.

In the first of Kings 19 we have Elijah, despite the wonderful victory over Baal worship, fleeing for his life from the enraged and vengeful Jezebel. The prophet sought refuge at Sinai, the mount of Yahweh. However, unlike Moses who made intercession for God's people, he went there asking his Sovereign to destroy Israel: see Romans 11 verses 2-5. God through a succession of manifestations of His power humbles Elijah to understand that his perception of God was entirely mistaken. Our Omnipotent Creator is a Saviour, rather than a destroyer. It is likely that the cave from which Yahweh revealed Himself to the prophet was the very place where our gracious Sovereign revealed His name and character to Moses: read Exodus 33 verses 17-34 and 7 and contemplate the wonder of the Almighty's character. The chapter concludes with Elijah being commissioned by the LORD to appoint 3 men - Hazael as king of Syria; Jehu as king over Israel; and Elisha to replace himself. Elisha's call is recorded in verses 19-21 and that prophet Elisha, having put his hand to the work, never looked back: see Luke 9 verses 61-62. Will we prove ourselves to be disciples who will follow our Lord Jesus Christ whatever the cost. Jeremiah 45 explains how God promises Baruch, the faithful scribe, that he would be preserved from the imminent doom. Chapter 46 describes the extensive disaster coming on Egypt, including the disobedient remnants of Judah. The chapter also includes a remarkable promise to the faithful remnant in Egypt who still clung to the Lord God and continued to hope in Him. Pause and read aloud verses 27-28 and ponder the steadfast love of the Almighty.

Are you running on empty in youth ministry? Stressed, comparing yourself to other churches, and wondering if you're enough? It's time to start stopping. In this episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards gets real about the pressures youth pastors, volunteers, and parents of students face—and the powerful freedom that comes when you stop trying to do it all, stop overthinking, and stop carrying results that only God can handle. Drawing from Joshua 1:9 and 1 Kings 19, Doug reveals how courage, rest, and obedience—not fear, comparison, or perfection—are what truly transform student ministry. You'll learn: ✅ Why God uses willing hearts, not polished performances. ✅ How to stop overthinking the gospel and simply ask, “Would you like to invite Jesus into your heart?” ✅ What Elijah's cave story teaches us about burnout, rest, and God's gentle whisper. ✅ Why comparing your ministry to others steals your joy and effectiveness. ✅ How to let go of fear and lead with courage.
Touched by an Angel 1 Kings 19 Chew the Bible Season 3After Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal, Queen Jezebel threatens to kill him. Fearing for his life, Elijah flees into the wilderness, discouraged and weary. He prays for God to take his life, but instead God provides for him—an angel gives him food and water to strengthen him. Elijah then journeys forty days and nights to Mount Horeb, where he takes refuge in a cave.God speaks to him there, not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. Elijah realizes God's presence comes not just through dramatic displays, but also in quietness. God reassures him, giving him new instructions and reminding him that he is not alone—7,000 in Israel have not bowed to Baal. Elijah is renewed in strength and continues his mission.Your words were found and I ate them
Today's Bible Verse: “But he himself went a days journey into the wilderness and came and sat under a broom tree. he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough now, O Lord. Take away my life. For I am not better than my fathers.”’” – 1 Kings 19:4 Even the strongest believers can reach a breaking point. Elijah had just witnessed God’s power in extraordinary ways, yet here he was—alone, exhausted, and ready to give up. In this moment of deep despair, God didn’t scold him; He sent rest, nourishment, and a renewed mission. When we’re worn out, God meets us with gentle care before calling us forward again. Your exhaustion isn’t the end of your story—God can use this season to restore your strength and rebuild your purpose.

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 - 1:06 . 1 Kings 20 - 6:29 .

God calls each of us, often unexpectedly and in the midst of ordinary life, not because we're qualified, but because he's gracious. Like Elisha, following that call requires both joyful celebration and costly sacrifice, leaving behind comfort, control, and even good things to say yes to God's greater purpose. Whether we're called to go or stay, the invitation is the same: to follow Jesus fully, burn the plows of our old life, and step into whatever he has next.
In a world that fractures our focus with endless demands, how can we live with single-minded devotion to Christ without hesitation? It's a daunting call, requiring strength beyond our own. Only through Christ's unwavering, unhesitant commitment to our salvation can we live fully committed to Him. Jesus' love empowers us to follow Him boldly, as Elisha did, ready to embrace God's call without a moment's pause.Vicar Behm's sermon preached at Faith on June 29, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz
Series: Undivided AttentionThere are different types of fans. There is the type of fan who follows his team if they make the playoffs. Then there is the type of fan who, regardless of his team's record, watches every game and knows the stats for every player. There are also different types of followers: the half-hearted versus the committed. Jesus is uninterested in followers who pay attention to his Word and will only when their other pursuits provide the time. Jesus wants followers who are all in . . . who love him above all things . . . who would be willing to leave everything else behind if that's what it would take to be with him.
In light of all that's happening in the world, Pastor Joe launches a new sermon series about calling, focusing this week on rest. He reminds us that in the midst of challenging empire and crying out for peace, the arc of the universe is long, so we must be intentional to have strength and sustenance for the struggle and journey towards God's justice ahead.
This past Sunday we heard from Bill Hayes. Bill reminded us the truth that we are the object of God's affection. In 1 Kings 19 we are told about how the prophet Elijah fell into deep despair right after he had experienced an incredible victory. There are going to be times in our lives when our emotions are not a solid indicator of our situation, and in those moments we need to cling to the truths of God's word that tells us a truer and better story.

Year C, Proper 7, Second Sunday After Pentecost
IT SEEMS odd to us, looking back across more than 2,800 years of history, that Elijah would run from Jezebel right after seeing what God had done on Mount Carmel. Well, it's easy to criticize. It's likely none of us would have done better in Elijah's place. We discuss how he was ministered to by the Angel of the Lord, the preincarnate Christ, while on the way to Horeb (Mount Sinai), and how God revealed Himself to Elijah in a way that was less than spectacular—especially after sending winds that tore the mountain, an earthquake, and fire. In the same way, we often expect God to show Himself to us in earth-shattering ways and miss the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. But while it's easy to criticize Elijah, we have to point out that Ahab, who likewise saw the miracle on Mount Carmel and miraculous victories over the Aramean armies of Syria still failed to follow the Lord's command—a mistake that ultimately meant the end of his kingdom.
