Have you ever had one of those weeks, or maybe one of those years, where you just felt completely drained and running on absolute fumes? When we are empty, our natural human instinct is self-preservation and wanting to retreat.
In this message, we look at a moment in the Apostle Paul's life right after he barely survived a deadly, chaotic riot in Ephesus. Even when he had every reason to quit, God provided exactly what he needed to sustain the mission.
This sermon reveals three powerful ways God provides for you in your darkest moments:
God Provides the Strength to Encourage: You cannot pour from an empty cup, but God supernaturally replenishes your soul so you can turn around and comfort others.
God Provides the Direction: When the enemy tries to plant a plot, or life forces a detour, God provides the wisdom and flexibility to reroute your steps.
God Provides the People for the Journey: We are not meant to walk through threats or ministry in isolation; God provides the faithful community we need to carry each other's burdens.
Stop trying to muscle your way through the uproar or navigate the detour with a broken map. Lay your empty cup before the Lord, and let Him fill you up so you can move forward!
