ELISHA: Grit & the Grind, Week Two — Dig the Ditch
February 15 | Sunday | 6:00pm | Lighthouse Church
Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things — but nothing is changing?You’re showing up.
You’re trying.
You’re praying.
And yet life still feels dry.
This Sunday night is for anyone who’s stuck in a waiting season, feeling tired, discouraged, or wondering if their effort even matters.
In Week Two of Elisha: Grit & the Grind, we’ll explore how to stay hopeful and intentional when you can’t see progress yet — and why preparation often matters more than timing.
Using an ancient story from the life of Elisha, we’ll look at what it means to keep showing up, take practical steps forward, and make space for change even when the outcome isn’t clear.
This message is for anyone who: Feels stuck or worn down; Is waiting for change in work, relationships, or life; Wants practical encouragement, not hype; Is trying to trust God when nothing seems to be happening
Come expecting a grounded, honest message that connects real life with timeless wisdom — and helps you keep moving forward with confidence.

FAQ
Where and when is the service?
Every Sunday 6-7pm service | 28 Reece Crescent, Wānaka (Walk right to the back of the car park behind Guthrie Bowron & up the flight of stairs)
What do you do in your service?
The service is only 1 hour. The band plays a few songs & different people might chat. Then for 20 minutes we have a professional communicator talk around a topic that is practical from the bible or life. After the service we hang out, catch up and meet new friends. There are complementary drinks (beer, cider, coke etc) in the fridge for during or after the service.
What should I wear?
Whatever, most of us are super casual. We are more concerned about you being comfortable and relaxed than the clothes you wear.
Do I have to give money?
Certainly not, if you are a guest the service is a gift to you. We do encourage our regular community to give but it is never pressured.
Do I need a bible or something?
Most people these days just download YouVersion on the app store. But all the bible scriptures used in the service will be on screen anyway.
What do you do for the kids?
We encourage older kids to enjoy the service and certainly all kids to enjoy the music. Many younger teenagers love the service as the speaking is interesting, often funny and certainly helpful. For the younger kids (when we know they are coming) we feed them dinner free of charge during the 20 minute talk. Your kid can either stay with you or eat with the other kids and make friends.
Whats the music like?
We have a full band and although all our songs are about faith they are played in a relevant way. Many of them have a distinct Reggae/Grunge New Zealand vibe to them.
