Faith Under Fire | Week 5

Faith Under Fire – Week 5: When Faith Keeps Praying1 Kings 18:41–46 | Pastor Craig TurnbullWhat happens when prayers seem unanswered? What do we do when we keep asking God for breakthrough… and nothing changes?In Week 5 of Faith Under Fire, Pastor Craig Turnbull teaches through the final moments of Elijah’s time on Mount Carmel after God sends fire from heaven and the nation turns back to Him. But before the rain finally comes, Elijah continues praying with persistence, humility, and trust in God’s promises. This message is a powerful reminder that prayer is not just about getting results. Prayer draws us closer to God, deepens our dependence on Him, and shapes our faith while we wait. Pastor Craig highlights four key truths about prayer:• Prayer begins by believing God’s Word and trusting His promises• Prayer requires humility and surrender before the Lord• Prayer persists even when answers seem delayed• Prayer allows us to experience the power and presence of God Elijah prayed seven times before even seeing a small cloud appear on the horizon. The message challenges us not to stop praying just because we have not yet seen the answer. Whether you are praying for a prodigal child, healing in a relationship, freedom from addiction, wisdom, direction, or revival in your family and community, this sermon encourages believers to remain faithful and keep seeking God.Because sometimes while God is working on the situation…He is also working on us.
