January 5, 2025 - The Last Arrow

Commonway Church

In the first of Commonway's series "The Last Arrow," Pastor Steve Gill set the stage for what we will be talking about over the next several weeks. We are challenged by the story of Israel's King Jehoash from 2 Kings 13. King Jehoash was described as hesitant, half-hearted, and not "hungry" enough. When the Prophet Elisha instructed him to strike his arrows, he only did so three times. We are challenged to think about if we are the type of people who will strike our arrows a few times and then quit, or will we keep striking and striking until no arrows are left? The key idea for this message is that God has given us victory in Christ and calls us to walk with a faith that never quits. The application of this message is for each of us to think "What is one thing in life that have quit consistently? And what is my first step to re-engage where I quit?
