Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, Missionary Sunday, Worship Service, August 30, 2026

Main message: Life will bring trials and seasons when you feel weary or ready to quit, but God's grace is sufficient — so keep going, keep talking to God, and trust that He renews, protects, and preserves His people.

Key points:

• "Life be lifing": unexpected hardships and discouragements are normal, but they don't mean God has abandoned you.
• Elijah's story (after Mount Carmel) shows God meets the discouraged: He confronts Elijah, gives new assignments, and reassures him of protection.
• God’s grace renews our strength (illustrated by the phone-battery analogy): when our power is low, reconnect to God, the true power source.
• Keep communicating with God — prayer brings perspective, restored purpose, peace, and direction.
• Don't quit — endure; God has reserved faithful ones (the 7,000) and will handle adversaries in His timing.
