Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: 1 Kings 19: 11-21

From the Sermon:

God showed up in the _______________.

So often we let ______________, what we think or want or hope is going to happen, block us from seeing that which is right in front of us.

God is going to ____________  how God is going to show up and it is our responsibility to catch the movement of the Spirit and follow.

We need to set aside our expectation in order to ________ what God is doing right, here right now.

Reflection Questions:

Why would we expect that God would communicate with each of, who God created to be so different, in the same way?

How many times have we asked where God was in the midst of a situation only to realize later that God was there the entire time?

How many times have we completely missed God’s presence because we expected God to show up the way we wanted or in our timing?

Are we really listening or is there something in our heart that is blocking us from hearing and responding to the call of God in this time and in this place?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that often we our own worst enemy. We get captivated by what we expected to happen instead of simply letting you be God. Forgive us, Lord. Speak to us, anew, we pray. Amen.
