Blast From the Past: “The Lord Will Provide”
In this message, Stephen Witmer calls pastors to root their joy not in what God does through them, but in what He has already done for them in Christ. Drawing from Luke 10 and Elijah’s life in 1 Kings 17, he shows how grounding our identity in ministry results often leads to pride or discouragement, while the gospel provides lasting joy and stability. The message highlights how God works both through His servants and in them—often through weakness, dependence, and surprising provision. Especially in small or difficult ministry contexts, this perspective frees pastors to serve faithfully, trusting God’s Word to sustain and shape them.
