Before the Jar

Send us a text

We all hit seasons where life feels like it is drying up emotionally, spiritually, or practically. Sometimes long before we understand why. In this opening message of our "Empty Jars" series, we step into Elijah's story before the mountaintop victory, before the miracle, before the fire... to the quiet and hidden place where God teaches him to trust.

This is a message for anyone walking through uncertainty, waiting for answers, or carrying a weight they cannot fully explain. Elijah did not pray for the ravens; he simply discovered a provision God had already set in motion. The same God who worked ahead for him is already working ahead for you.

If you have ever wondered where God is in the dry seasons... if you have ever felt empty long before you felt hopeful... this episode will remind you that heaven has already moved on your behalf, even if you cannot see it yet.

Because when life feels empty... the ravens are already flying.
