No matter how strong your faith is, you've probably had moments when you asked, “Why do I feel this way?” You’re not alone. Even faithful followers of God—like the prophet Elijah—faced deep valleys of fear, exhaustion, and depression. Yes, even prophets get depressed! Today, Grace Presbyterian Church is starting a new sermon series: Out of the Cave, inspired by Elijah’s story and God’s gentle presence in the wilderness. Pastor Reeves reveals how faith and mental health can co-exist and how God lovingly leads us out of the dark places

Even Prophets Get Depressed-0615-25

No matter how strong your faith is, you might find yourself overwhelmed, burned out, or feeling like you’re stuck in a cave. That’s exactly where we find the prophet Elijah in this week’s scripture. After a major spiritual victory, Elijah spirals into fear, exhaustion, and despair. Today at Grace Presbyterian Church, Pastor Reeves leads us through Elijah’s story, showing how his struggles mirror our own. Join us as we continue our Out of the Cave series and take an honest look at how we end up in dark places—and how God lovingly leads us out.

You might be living a life of strong faith, where you’re doing all the right things, but inside, you feel like you’re barely holding it together. Today, we continue with 1 Kings 19, looking at how the prophet Elijah collapses under a broom tree, overwhelmed and exhausted. God doesn’t scold him—God lets him sleep, feeds him, and gently says, “The journey is too much for you.” But then what? Pastor Reeves helps us explore how to rebuild our emotional lives with connection, purpose, trust, and care. Join us with Elijah’s example of “Rebuilding Our Emotional House.”

Life is full of moments worth celebrating — sometimes, all it takes is a little focus to make them happen. But what do we do when everything you’ve been planning unravels in an instant? When joy collides with heartbreak? This week, Tricia Lozano shares her powerful faith journey — a story marked by both deep celebration and unexpected sorrow. In her message, “Bright Flowers, Dark Waters,” she invites us to discover how God often meets us when we least expect it.

Sometimes we settle in and live our lives, wondering if we are lacking a life that is fulfilling. This week at Grace Presbyterian Church, we continue our walk with Elijah through “Get Off My Mountain,” as found in 1 Kings 19:9-15, where the prophet Elijah is visited by God, who gives him a new purpose to leave his cave. Join us and discover the hope, community, and direction you've been searching for as Pastor Owens shares a message of promise and fulfillment with us.

This week Pastor Reeves will conclude our Out of the Cave series with a message from 1 Kings 19:15-21 titled “From Burnout to Blessed.” After walking through depression and despair, Elijah is given a new mission—and a companion in Elisha. This final step out of the cave reminds us that God never intended us to walk alone. We’ll reflect on how healing often comes through relationships. If you’ve felt isolated or weary, this message is for you.

In a world obsessed with accumulating more—more stuff, more status, more security—Jesus tells a striking parable about a man with overflowing barns but an empty soul. What are we really storing up in our lives? And how can we become rich in what matters most to God? As we enter August, Pastor Reeves helps us explore what it means to live generously, love deeply, and invest in the kind of treasure that lasts. The sermon, “Storage Wars: Soul Edition,” is based on Luke 12:13–21. Whether you're feeling stretched thin or simply wondering if there's more to life than "more," this message is for you.

As we get ready to start the school year again, God reminds us to carry compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience in our backpacks. This week, Ben Reeves, one of our college students, explores how God gives us the opportunity to transform our living backpack from messy into a living backpack organized with what God wants for us. The sermon, “What Are You Carrying?” is based on the scripture Colossians 3:12-17. I hope today’s message is one that inspires you for the new school year.

This Sunday, we launch a new year of ministry, celebrating the truth that every person matters in the body of Christ. Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 12 remind us that the Church is a living body, each part unique, each part needed, each part connected. Belonging isn’t about “fitting in,” but about bringing our authentic selves, trusting that God has given each of us a vital role. In "A Place to Belong, A Call to Become", Pastor Reeves shows us that belonging is just the beginning. God calls us to grow, to serve, and to become more fully the body of Christ— together.

We pray for the church so that we would be known not for judgment, but for grace. Not for fear, but for love. Not for exclusion but for welcome. Our prayer is that we be reminded that the church is about community. Open our eyes to all the ways we are spiritually bent over, and how we define ourselves and others. Pastor Reeves continues to walk with us with “Bent Out of Shape” from the gospel of Luke 13: 10-17.
