Pastor Darrison Tellez opened by emphasizing the vital role of the next generation in the church. He then preached from 1 Kings 18:41-46, where Elijah prayed for rain during a severe drought. The message centered on how to handle seasons of spiritual dryness, where God's promises seem delayed or come in small packages. Pastor Darrison taught that God often allows 'nothing' to happen as a form of preparation, not neglect, to build our endurance and ensure we rely on His strength, not our own. He illustrated this through the story of Elijah sending his servant to look for rain seven times, receiving 'nothing' for six attempts before seeing a small cloud. This small beginning was the start of a mighty rainstorm. The sermon encouraged listeners not to despise small starts or be discouraged by valleys, as God uses these seasons to strip away self-reliance, develop character, and prepare us for greater assignments. He connected this to personal stories of parenting and life transitions, urging the church to fix their eyes on the unseen, eternal things of God rather than temporary circumstances. The call was to persevere in prayer, worship, and obedience, trusting that God's timing is perfect and His 'nothing' is actually purposeful preparation for a significant breakthrough.
