KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Discouragement often shows up right after a win. Knowing that helps you get ready instead of getting blindsided.
  2. You can't separate the physical and the spiritual. Sometimes the most faithful next step is to eat a good meal and get some sleep.
  3. Be honest with God about where you are, then make space to hear Him. He often speaks in a whisper, not the earthquake or the fire.
  4. God's next step for you is bigger than you. He sent Elijah to raise up Elisha, and the faith gets passed on.

FROM THE MESSAGE
"God can't heal what you won't reveal."
"God will never tell you to run from him."

QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON THIS WEEK

  1. Am I running low emotionally, spiritually, or physically? Which one needs attention first?
  2. When discouraging thoughts come, have I asked, "Who told me that?"
  3. Is my life quiet enough right now to hear God if He whispered?

Alone under a tree, he asked God to let him die. In this final week of Don't Drink the Poison, Pastor Alex shows how God met Elijah in that dark place: not with a lecture, but with a meal, a nap, and then a quiet whisper that gave him his next step.

Key takeaways
We fight fear and failure with faith. Peter denied Jesus out of fear, but he didn't isolate, and God used him to build His church.
We fight mourning with prayer. Prayer is our lifeline with God, especially when loss makes us want to pull away from Him.
We fight hurt with community. People may have hurt us, but God often uses people to heal us.

From the message
"Isolation doesn't serve you, you serve isolation."
"Today he doesn't wanna fix the problem. He wants to fix us."

Questions to reflect on this week
Where in your life has solitude quietly turned into isolation?
Which one pulls you away most right now: fear and failure, mourning, or hurt?
Who is one person you can let in this week?

]]> Don't Go It Alone | Todd Hampton | Acts 2:42-47 Vine Hill Church 00:40:38 Isolation rarely happens all at once. Like poison, it works slowly. In this message, Pastor Todd shares how a season of intentional time with God during the 2020 lockdown quietly turned into isolation, and what it took to find his way out. Walking through Acts 2:42-47, he names three things that pull us away from God and others (fear and failure, mourning, and hurt) and how the early church fought each one together.

Martha opened her home to Jesus and got to work. Her sister Mary sat down at His feet and listened. When Martha complained, Jesus told her she was anxious and troubled about many things, but only one thing was necessary.

In week 2 of Don't Drink the Poison, Pastor Alex names a poison most of us don't notice: distraction. Not distraction by bad things, but by good ones, like our roles as spouses, parents, and employees, and our family and career goals. God created those things. But when they move ahead of Jesus, they pull us away from what matters most.

Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 (ESV)
Also referenced: 1 Corinthians 13, James 1, Proverbs 16:9, 2 Corinthians 6:2
Speaker: Pastor Alex
Series: Don't Drink the Poison, week 2

Key takeaways

  1. Distraction can lead to frustration. When we haven't spent time with Jesus, we get irritable with the people closest to us, at home and at work. We can't show love if we haven't spent time with the one who is love.
  2. Distraction can lead to assumption. Martha assumed Jesus didn't care. When we're running on empty, we let our emotions lead and assume the worst about the people who love us most, and that assumption can grow into resentment.
  3. Distraction can lead to anxiousness. Anxiety shows up when we're worried about what might happen or overwhelmed by what we're trying to manage. Christ is over the present and the future.

From the message

"The devil don't care what you're focused on, as long as it's not Jesus."

"Sitting at his feet is a posture of submission, listening and learning."

Questions to reflect on

  • Which of your roles or goals has quietly moved ahead of Jesus lately?
  • Who have you been quick to get frustrated with, or to assume the worst about? What might change if you started your day at Jesus' feet?
  • Where are you sitting at the world's feet (your phone, your feed, your calendar) more than at Christ's? What is one change you can make this week?

This week's challenge

Spend time with Jesus more days than not: four days a week, 20 to 30 minutes, unhurried and undistracted. Put the phone in the other room and open your Bible. If you miss a day, don't beat yourself up. Just pick it back up.

Not sure where to start? Our pastors and staff would love to help you make a plan for time with God.
