MAKE ROOM
What if the voice you've been desperately seeking has already been speaking—but your life is simply too loud to hear it? Pastor Dave opens a powerful new series from 2 Kings 4:8-10, where a Shunammite woman builds a small room for the prophet Elijah—a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp—teaching us that God doesn't want to merely visit your life on Sunday mornings; He wants a permanent room. Pastor Dave's unique insight cuts deep: you can have Jesus *around* you without ever making room for Jesus *within* you, and that difference determines everything when darkness surrounds you. Drawing from Psalm 46:11—"Be still, and know that I am God"—he challenges our badge-of-honor busyness culture, reminding us that the bed the Shunammite built for blessing became the very bed where her dead son was resurrected. The room she built *before* the crisis became her refuge *during* the crisis. What dead thing in your life needs to be carried back to the room? Don't wait for tragedy to build your space with God. Make room now—through rest, prayer, and stillness—because your rest may become your resurrection. Come on, Church: make room today.
2 Kings 4:8-10 NKJV “Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a notable woman, and she persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food. And she said to her husband, ‘Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly. Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.”
