Rev. Sherry Thompson - God Never Sugar Coats Truth:He Paints A Full Portrait

When the Bible paints the picture of its great heroes, it does not just use the light colors of victory and happiness and joy.  It always paints the full portrait with the dark colors of sadness, difficulty, depression, defeat, sin and temptation.  However, it never leaves you in the pit, it gives you an opportunity to go from the pit to the palace. Join us to take a journey with Elijah, who was a prophet on the run.  You'll experience agony, defeat and the sheer thrill of VICTORY!  God offers Elijah as proof of this point and concludes that in some measure, depression and discouragement after a great victory are part of the gracious discipline of God's mercy lest we become proud and puffed up at our own accomplishments.  It is in that light why we should study and learn of this ancient story for it has much to teach us into days society.  So tune in, buckle up and let the spiritual journey begin!
