    No matter who we think we are, we are ultimately helpless, blubbering fools without God’s backing.

    Big Shots? Really? (2 Kings 4:1-44) 1. A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques.

    Barley harvest--springtime--may not be the time when people think about Thanksgiving Day meals. During Elisha's day, a pair of miracles made a small meal into a real feast!

    There is a famine of the Word of God in our country and the people are hungry for the truth. Amos 8:11 “Look! The days are coming” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine throughout the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water— but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

    2 Kings 4:38-41 (NKJV) Serve It Again October 03, 2010 We begin today with Elisha returning to Gilgal. Returning to his holy place where he was taught by his father in ministry Elijah.

    So, what does this passage in 2 Kings 4 have to do with us? I told you at the beginning that this was an odd passage in the life of the prophet Elisha and it has an important message for us today. That message is all about the action word “faith.”

    God remembers His own. He is concerned with little things. He cares for our needs. Hardships reveal where our true trust is.

    We have been looking at the miracles of Elisha. It is good to remember that these works were done against the backdrop of the widespread idolatry. • The Northern Kingdom of Israel especially, where Elijah and Elisha ministered, the people had already abandoned God and gone into worshipping ...read more
