One moment Elijah is standing in victory on Mount Carmel. The next, he’s weary, discouraged, and ready to quit. How do you finish well when life feels heavy and faith feels small?
In this finale from 1 Kings 19 through 2 Kings 2, Pastor Joby takes us through Elijah’s last chapters where fear, failure, and frailty meet the faithfulness of God. From the still small voice in the cave to the fiery chariots of heaven, we discover that God is not finished with His people. He calls us to raise up the next generation, to walk in both Word and power, and to trust His promises all the way to the end.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, or whether God can use you after your darkest days, Elijah’s story is a reminder: it’s not how you start, but how you finish.

Still Small Voice - Elijah: Wk 7
One moment Elijah is calling down fire from heaven. The next, he’s hiding in a cave ready to give up. What happened?
In this raw story from 1 Kings 19:8-13, Pastor Matt Carter walks us into Elijah’s dark night of the soul, where fear, anxiety, and depression threatened to undo his faith. We discover that even in the cave, God does not abandon His children. Instead, He pursues Elijah in his failure, restores him with kindness, and redirects him back to his calling.
If you have ever felt like you were too weak, too broken, or too far gone for God to use, this message is for you. The story of Elijah shows us the relentless grace of a God who will never let go of His people.

Jesus and Your Mental Health - Elijah: Wk 6
Everyone says they’re “fine”—but what if you’re not? Depression. Fear. Suicide. These are real battles, and the Bible doesn’t shy away from them.
In 1 Kings 19, Elijah goes from calling fire down from heaven to collapsing under despair. Pastor Joby Martin and guest Rebecca Maxwell cut through the silence to confront the mental health crisis head-on. You’ll hear raw truth, why the enemy attacks your mind, and how Jesus meets you in the darkest valleys.
The question is—will you keep pretending, or will you fight back with the truth of God’s Word?

Fire Fall Down - Elijah: Wk 5
Have you ever felt caught between two worlds—longing for God but clinging to idols?
In 1 Kings 18, Elijah calls God’s people to stop wavering. On Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal cried out in vain, but Elijah prayed—and fire fell from heaven. Through this story, Pastor Joby invites us to examine where we place our trust and to remember that our God never fails. Whether in drought, in doubt, or in an impossible situation, He is enough.
What step of obedience is God asking you to take today?

What Kind of Man Are You? - Elijah: Wk 4
What kind of man—or woman—are you becoming? In a time of compromise, corruption, and fear, Elijah stood firm. Confronting kings, resisting evil, and obeying God no matter the cost, he shows us what strong and good leadership looks like — for both men and women.
In this week’s message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to reject fear, refuse passivity, and live with the courage that comes from the Spirit of God. Whether you’re leading in your home, workplace, or church, Elijah’s life reminds us that saved doesn’t mean soft — and faith means standing firm on the Word of the Lord.
