God Hasn’t Given Up on What You Gave Up On.

Main message: Make intentional room in your life for God—become open to the ways He wants to work—and He will meet your needs and revive dreams you’ve given up on.

Key points:

• The Shunammite woman built an upper room for Elisha (God's representative) as an act of hospitality and making space for God to move.
• Pay attention to what keeps recurring on your heart or in Scripture; persistent nudges often signal God’s direction.
• Four practical things she furnished (bed, table, chair, lamp) symbolize how to make room for God: trust/rest, fellowship/community, submission to God's authority (willingness to change), and Scripture/witness.
• God meeting needs is not a transactional payoff but flows from God’s character; be open to unexpected routes (illustrated by the pastor’s adoption story and the church’s feeding ministry).
• Don’t quietly quit believing—God can resurrect “dead” hopes if you open your heart again; the sermon closes with a call to receive Christ.

Scriptures mentioned: 2 Kings 4:8-17
