"Hangry" -- Sermon from September 14, 2024

Bethlehem Lutheran Church Podcast

An ad campaign for a candy bar coined it so well “You’re not you when you’re hungry.” Pastor Stephanie admits she gets “hangry” when she hasn’t eaten or is overtired. Our focus text this week shows the prophets of the Bible got hangry, too. The Prophet Elijah is ready to give up after running for his life. God provides a shaded place to rest and an angel bring Elijah some food. Rested and fed he can carry on and complete the mission God had set for him. As we look to Flourish by “Letting Go of Exhaustion and Cultivating Balance” the story of Elijah is a reminder that God knows when we need a break to refuel and encourages us all to take time to find a better balance to our lives.
