Even When You Feel Offended

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Rob Byker continues his series, Daring to Draw Near, with a message from 2 Kings 5:1-19 titled “Even When You Feel Offended.” Naaman, a successful military commander from Aram, came to Israel seeking healing from the prophet Elisha. He expected something dramatic—but instead, Elisha sent a message through a servant telling him to wash in the muddy Jordan River. Offended by the simplicity and lack of ceremony, Naaman nearly walked away. Thankfully, his servants helped him see it was a blessing, not an insult. Like Naaman, we sometimes resist God’s ways when they don’t match our expectations. But God often works through humble, simple steps—not heroic efforts. As James writes, “Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” Essentially, the message is “Come low. Come humble. Come ready to grieve your sins and then you will find that God “will lift you up.”(James 4:10) Want to learn more about Connections Church? Visit our website: https://myconnections.church/
