Pastor Jeff Manion explains Elijah’s showdown with the prophets of Baal at Mt. Carmel. Through this conversation, we see God uses a drought to get the people’s attention, expose their false gods and move them from spiritually stuck to started with him again. We are encouraged to recognize where we may be stuck and how we can return to God and experience his blessing. 1 Kings 18:20-46

The stories Jesus told and what they mean for your life today . Why did Jesus teach in stories? Because the deepest truths about God are often found in the ordinary moments of life. In the parables, Jesus takes everyday things, a lost sheep, a dinner party, a farmer planting seeds and uses them to show us what God is really like and what it means to follow him. This summer, we’re spending seven weeks in the parables from Luke’s gospel. Whether you’ve heard these stories a hundred times or this is your first time, you’re invited to come and hear them fresh. June 27/28–August 8/9
