Worry… it’s universal. It’s as much a part of life as breathing. Yet Jesus said: “Don’t. Don’t worry!” Easier said than done… In this 3-part series, we will explore all that Jesus had to say about worry. You’ll discover where worry comes from, why it’s so difficult to overcome, and what you can do to conquer it. In this series we will take a look at an Old Testament story about a man who was challenged with a single question—a question that brought a new perspective to his worries. That question may be the key to overcoming worry in your life as well.

September 13 // Now and Then // 1 Kings 19:1-18
We rarely worry about the present. What we really worry about is what may or may not happen in the future. And we usually forget what has happened in the past. We forget about how our worries didn’t alleviate our fears. In this week’s message, we'll learn about a person who forgot about God’s past faithfulness. His worries drove him to a place emotionally, spiritually, physically, and relationally he should never have gone. And in response, God asked him a very important question that continues to speak to us today.
