In this powerful message, Pastor Douglas reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles. When hopelessness creeps in, it’s vital to recognize the lies of the enemy and instead lean into the truth and hope found in Jesus Christ. Drawing from the story of Elijah, we see that even great men and women of God face fear, loneliness, and exhaustion—but God’s presence revives and restores.

This sermon is a call to resist isolation, press into community, and realign our thoughts with the mind of Christ. Life's trials are not a sign that God has abandoned us; they are often the proving grounds where our faith grows deeper. If you're tired, weary, or struggling to find your way, there is strength, hope, and renewal available through Jesus.

✅ How to recognize and reject the lies of the enemy
✅ Why even strong believers experience deep struggles
✅ The critical role of community in fighting despair
