Pastoral Message from Jack Belsom, Guest Pastor:
The sermon text is 1 Kings 19:1–15a. Elijah has had a successful contest with the priests of Baal. He had the people kill them after his victory, and now Queen Jezebel has promised to revenge their murder by taking Elijah’s life. Elijah is on the run and encounters God in a way that surprises him (not earthquake, wind or fire). The sermon title—“What are you doing here?”—comes from God’s question to Elijah twice (always significant). It is a question I ask myself and one I believe we should ask as a church. May God’s presence be enough for us to respond faithfully.
