What are you doing here?

In 1 Kings 19, where the prophet Elijah experiences spiritual depression immediately after his greatest victory on Mount Carmel. Despite witnessing God send fire from heaven and defeating 450 prophets of Baal, Elijah flees in fear from Jezebel's threats and asks God to take his life. The message explores how spiritual depression involves loss of hope, joy, purpose, and meaning while living detached from God's promises. Pastor Matt emphasizes that depression often follows mountaintop experiences and that God doesn't abandon us in our darkest valleys. Instead, He comes near, speaks in whispers, and gently leads us forward. The path out of depression involves doing the next right thing, seeking the Lord who is seeking us, moving forward on mission, and replacing lies with God's truth. Ultimately, t while biblical heroes like Elijah are flawed, Jesus is the one true hero who demonstrated God's ultimate love through the cross.
