    WHEN YOUR BROOK DRIES UP 1 Kings 17:1-16 Elijah is one of the most colorful personalities found in the entire Bible. Here in 1 Kings chapter 17, he appears suddenly upon the scene, he doesn’t have a huge introduction, and not a lot is said about his life previous to here in this passage. He ...read more

    V. 17 SURPIZED BY TRAGEDY For a good while everything was great, God was performing daily miracles with the jar of oil and the barrel, but just when everything seemed to be going the widow’s way, tragedy strikes. Her son dies, the boy who God was keeping alive with the miracle of food everyday ...read more

    Introduction: The story is told of a man who was walking across the road when he was hit by a car. The impact knocked him on his head which caused him to be in a coma for a couple of days before he finally regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, his loving wife was there beside his bed ...read more

    Our success and fulfillment is in our service and Jesus, the bread of heaven, gives us the food that we need for the journey.

    FOOD FOR THE JOURNEY Text: First Kings 17:19 "The familiar orange box and the slogan "The Breakfast of Champions" have become more than just advertising symbols.

    Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.

    When you say the word boot camp, the civilian and enlisted, retired and reserved all conjure up pictures of freshly shaved heads, dog tags, fatigues and, as Chuck Swindoll says, fatigue. It is through the doors of boot camp that an 18-year old from Kiowa, Kansas is shaped into a soldier by doing ...read more

    Failure to understand elementary insights about how to engage the enemy will leave gaping holes in our defenses.

    After a worship service at First Baptist in New Castle, Kentucky, the mother of a fidgety 7-year-old boy told Pastor Dave Charlton how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered, “If you don’t be quiet, Pastor Charlton is going ...read more

    The generosity of the widow Zarephath to the prophet Elijah was in direct response to the initiative of God. Our generosity to others should be of the same nature.

    Sermon.987 See O.T. Characters.017 “Generosity Pays” I Kings 17:7-24 The generosity of the widow of Zarephath to the prophet Elijah was in response to the initiative of God.

    "Making A Big Deal Out Of A Widow Woman":

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on May 11, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 4,498 views

    This preacher had but one church member in Chapter 17 who believed in him, but it was enough encouragement to give Elijah the boldness to call down fire from Heaven in Chapter 18!

    “Making a Big Deal out of a Widow Woman” How God provided for Elijah... God could no longer bless the nation of Israel. Elijah was instructed by God to go to wicked King Ahab and his notorious wife, Jezebel, that a famine was coming. This famine would effect all of the people of Israel including ...read more
