"Under the Broom Tree"
Message by Pastor Corey Christians
The morning after Mount Carmel, Elijah runs. After one of the greatest moments of his life, he collapses in the wilderness under a broom tree and asks God to let him die. Burnout and fear have done what the prophets of Baal could not. And God's response is not a rebuke. It is bread and rest.

That matters. God does not demand more from a man who has nothing left. He feeds him, lets him sleep, and feeds him again. Then, at Horeb, God meets him not in the earthquake or the fire, but in a whisper. This is who God is. And it is who Jesus is. He came into our exhaustion and carried it. He still comes to people who have nothing left to offer.
