June 2, 2013 Sermon Series "Elijah: On Fire for the Lord"
Week I: "Feast or Famine"
Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 17:8-24; Luke 7:11-17
Rev. Kathryn Carroll, Pastor
Today is the first of four Sundays focusing on the prophet Elijah. In the first scene, Elijah is both sent by the Lord to the widow in Zarephath, and then, is given the prophecy to share, that her supplies will not be depleted until the rain falls. What does this story say to you about trust?
Next, Elijah is given power to revive the widow’s son, after his illness leaves “no breath left in him.” What do Elijah’s extraordinary powers demonstrate to the widow about the nature of Elijah? About the nature of Elijah’s God?
