    Through one of his many miracles Elijah leads the widow of Zarephath to trust the Word that he speaks as the LORD’s prophet.

    “What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you?” Time and time again the Jews asked Jesus to perform miracles as a sign of his power and as proof of his claims. They implied that they would put their faith in him if he did a miracle at their request. But to those who ...read more

    Uses the story of Jesus' resurrection of the widow's son in Luke 7 to remind us of the joy and difficulty that can come on Mother's Day.

    Since today is Mother’s Day, I thought I would begin with some possibilities for a list called “Murphy’s Laws of Parenting.” Murphy’s law is the idea that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. So these are kind of some laws of how things can go wrong for moms or ...read more

    All resources are finite, and so when food and other sustenance was given to the Christian community’s widows, the goods ran out.

    Saturday of the 2nd Week in Easter 2023 There are some things that human beings do without thinking very long or hard before doing them. You can imagine the power and gas going off in a severe winter storm and then burning clothes and furniture in the fireplace to keep warm. Or one might find a ...read more

    Jesus praises the widow not to excuse injustice—but to highlight sacrificial giving and inspire resilient faithfulness in a world that desperately needs it.

    A poor widow stands in the temple, clutching two small coins in her hand. The coins amount to only a quarter of a day’s wage, and though they are all she has, she still intends to give them as her offering. She may feel exposed—perhaps even small—surrounded by others with far greater wealth to ...read more

    The kingdom of God totally contradicts the Kingdom of this World

    The passage we will be looking at this evening is from Matthew 20 vs. 1-16. Often subtitled the workers in the vineyard. The approach I am going to take is that we will split the passage up into sections – read the story together and then I will offer you some thoughts on each part. But ...read more

    a sermon about decision-making. Often times, in the “gray areas”, we simply need to decide what things in life are most important to God. We need to straighten out our priorities.

    I want clear instructions. Here are some examples of instructions that, for one reason or another, weren’t made very clearly: • “Do not sit in chair without being fully assembled” • “Please take time to look over the brochure enclosed with your family” • at a private school grounds: “No ...read more
