Andrew Mumm – “Bread for the Journey” – Verdugo Community Church August 11, 2024

In his sermon, “Bread for the Journey,” Andrew Mumm looks at 1 Kings 19 to show how God provided what Elijah needed when he fled from Queen Jezebel after his confrontation on Mount Carmel with the prophets of Baal. Elijah feared for his life and he was discouraged because his actions had not changed how the King regarded God, and, he feared for his life. He slept and then was awakened by an angel who twice provided him with bread and water. Elijah was able to make a 40 day journey to Mount Horeb to meet God. When we are discouraged and feel that we cannot go on to do the things we feel God wants done, we should be open to taking care of ourselves and accepting support and help from others, who like the angel in this story are being sent by God for that purpose. And, when we encounter others who need encouragement, we should remember we are to step in and provide it, becoming their supporting angels.
