Talking About the Elephant in the Room

There is an elephant in the room.  That saying expresses what is happening in our church right now.  But the Scriptures help us to talk about our elephant(s) and see them through God’s eyes.  Let’s see how this works in 3 different but true stories in the Bible.

(Ex. 17:8-13) God overcomes defeat through persevering prayer.

(Acts 7:54-60) God uses what appears to be bad and turns it into good.

(Luke 23:44-46; 24:1-10) God takes what appears to be the ultimate defeat and turns it into magnificent victory.

The Big Idea: God’s light shines brightest when life appears darkest.
