Preached on Sunday the 23rd of November, 2025.‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭24‬ ‭“Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” And the word of the Lord came to him: “Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” So he went and did according to the word of the Lord. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land. Then the word of the Lord came to him, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.” And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.'” And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah. After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. And she said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!” And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed. And he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?” Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child's life come into him again.” And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives.” And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.””Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

Bryson Thomas, pastor at Del Ray Baptist Church. Preached at the 11/16/25 Evening Service.

What do you do when your resources feel like they're running out? Let's unpack Elijah's encounter with the widow at Zarephath and how God used her small act of obedience to release daily provision. Let's break the scarcity mindset and learn to depend on God's word even when circumstances look bleak. Seek God first and respond with a handful of obedience.

“The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook.” (1 Kings 17:6 NLT) When the Bible says that ravens brought Elijah food each morning and evening, it doesn’t mean that they took his order, flew through the local fast-food restaurant, and then delivered his meal. Ravens are scavengers. They brought little bits of meat and bread to Elijah. What’s more, the water in the brook from which he drank would have been somewhat polluted. So, Elijah didn’t enjoy an idyllic situation by any stretch of the imagination. How easily Elijah could have said, “Well, Lord, I don’t really want to be in this crummy little place, drinking river water. I kind of like being in front of people. I like the limelight.” But the Lord was preparing Elijah for something beyond his wildest dreams. Not long after his sojourn by the brook, Elijah found himself standing on Mount Carmel, engaged in a great showdown with the false prophets of Baal (see 1 Kings 18:20–40). Sometimes we don’t like where God has put us. We say, “Lord, I don’t like this situation. I don’t like where I am. I want to do something great for You. I want to make a difference in my world.” Maybe the Lord wants you to be effective right where you are. Maybe He wants you to take advantage of the opportunities in front of you and be faithful in the little things. Who knows what God has in store for you? One theme that works its way through Scripture is that God’s people are blessed when they trust in His timing and plan. The author of Proverbs advised, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:5–6 NLT). God Himself said, “Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:28–31 NLT). The apostle Paul offered this reminder: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28 NLT). And the author of Ecclesiastes wrote, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT). If God has you by some muddy little brook, so to speak, just hang in there. Make the most of the season you’re in. Be faithful, do what He has already told you, and wait on Him and His timing. God will do something wonderful for you or with you. Just be available and open to do what He would have you do. Reflection question: How can you thrive in the place you are right now?

Episode Title: The Story of Elijah: Faith and Obedience (1 Kings 17:1–16)Episode Description:In this episode, Pastor Ben Smith dives into the story of Elijah, exploring faith and obedience in the face of hardship. From confronting King Ahab's sin to experiencing God's miraculous provision through nature and the unlikely generosity of a widow, this sermon reveals how God works through faithful obedience.Listeners will discover three key truths:1. God provides for obedience – He meets the needs of those who follow Him, often in unexpected ways.2. Suffering is part of life in a fallen world – Trials do not indicate God's absence, but create opportunities for His glory to shine.3. Faith is proven through obedience – True belief is demonstrated through action, even when it is difficult or costly.Through Elijah's story and a personal testimony from Pastor Ben's life, this episode encourages believers to trust God fully, obey His commands, and witness His power in the midst of life's challenges.Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 17:1–16Keywords: Elijah, Faith, Obedience, God's Provision, Trials, Trust in God, Christian Living, SermonSpeaker: Pastor Ben SmithSeries: Heroes of the Faith: The Story of ElijahFormat: Expository SermonFind Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.This sermon was originally preached on January 26, 2020.

Death is the one reality we all fear, and yet it is the very place where God often reveals His power most clearly. 1 Kings 17 tells of a widow who encounters devastating loss when her son dies — and in her confusion, pain, and questions, Elijah carries her heartbreak to the Lord in prayer. God responds by restoring the boy to life. The story invites us to believe that when death strikes, God's Word still speaks life, and resurrection is always His final word.

When we ask God for something, the idea is not to do it once, but continually. Do not give up on praying. Our prayer life should be evident to those around us by the work God is doing in our lives. We should not be afraid to be seen as people of prayer.

Send us a textFeeling like you are running on empty? We dive into a powerful story from 1 Kings 17, about a widow, down to her last meal, who is invited to trust God with what little she has left. What unfolds is not just a miracle of provision, but a lesson in faith, surrender, and the surprising ways God meets us in scarcity.You don't need full hands for God to work, just an open heart.Whether you are new to the podcast or a returning listener, this message will meet you right where you are, especially if you have ever wondered, "Do I really have enough to make it through?"Join us as we discover how God turns surrender into supply--and how He can take what feels small and make it more than enough.Other messages in this series:Before the JarThe Jar that Never Runs Out Beyond the Jar (November 2, 2025)*(When sermon is being preached live at Ravenna Church of the Nazarene) Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

1 Kings 17 introduces Elijah, a prophet from nowhere who delivers God's Word to Ahab, declaring a drought for Israel's disobedience. God then withdraws His Word by hiding Elijah at Cherith, where ravens feed him and a brook sustains him. Next, He sends Elijah to a Gentile widow whose obedient faith amid desperation reveals that God's Word sustains through surprising provision.

God's math is not our math. Small provisions from him are multiplied to meet the need. He provides for us daily rather than give us everything we will ever need all at once. This leads us to learn to trust him consistently. God can use even small gifts.

Steve Wiggins of GroundworksMinistries.com is sharing a devotional from the Old Testament book of 1 Kings, Chapter Seventeen.  

The letters to the Corinthians begin in the same way as every epistle of Paul prior to his first Imprisonment in Rome. Grace ('charis" the Greek greeting) and peace ('shalom' the Hebrew welcome). What more could be offered any believer than the grace and peace of the Father? The letters written between the two imprisonments contain the added dimension of 'mercy': something we become more conscious of needing the older we get (the only exception to this pattern is in Paul's personal letter to Philemon). What wonderful words were told to the Corinthian readers, that by the Father's calling they were saints, or sanctified believers, incorporated into the fellowship of God and His Beloved Son. The Apostle informs his readers about the tragedy of forming factions. Christ's ecclesia - his body - cannot be divided into segments which follow human leaders. For that reason, notwithstanding the essential nature of baptism, Paul was thankful to have baptised only a few. The Apostle's prime focus was on forwarding the message of the Gospel. The essence of that message lay in the power of the preaching of Christ's crucifixion. Read aloud and ponder verses 18-31 (the last of those verses cite Jeremiah 9 verses :23-24). The reader will notice how the Apostle develops the theme from Jeremiah and consider the masterful conclusion in verses 30-31. How thankful are we that the Father has called weak and ordinary people such as ourselves to His kingdom and glory. Chapter 2 outlines Paul's determination when he came to Corinth to teach among them nothing except the Christ as the crucified one. This message was unbelievable and inconceivable to Paul's hearers, as his quote from Isaiah 64 verses 4-5 proves. But our Sovereign God has His love and wisdom shared with His children - known partly now with the added promise that the joys and blessings of the kingdom age cannot be understood simply through words which would fail to describe that experience of being the Father's immortalised children. The Apostle Paul highlights the difference between natural and spiritual thinking, showing that the teaching via the spirit of God Is essential for true enlightenment. https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

The line of kings in Israel began with Jeroboam who built golden calves for a more convenient worship experience. After him came Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, and Omri, all of whom were evil in the Lord's sight. This brings us to King Ahab, who should be worshipping the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God who brought Israel out of Egypt, but instead he marries a Baal worshiper, turns to serve Baal himself, then builds a temple to Baal in Samaria. Elijah boldly confronts the king in the name of the Lord of Armies. God works wonders through Elijah, and by God's strength, Elijah performs miraculous signs. 1 Kings 17 - 1:06 . 1 Kings 18 - 10:18 . Psalm 119:33 - 17:12 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

God sends Elijah not to the faithful or the powerful—but to a poor, Gentile widow in enemy territory. Why? Because His mercy knows no borders. God sees the outsider, works through the overlooked, and invites us to trust Him—even when our jars feel empty.Catch the latest sermon at bridge.tv/sermonsSupport the show

Laura and Pastor Daniel discuss Sunday's message from the Bible 2025 series!

On this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart walk through the miraculous account of Elijah and the widow at Zarephath. As famine ravages the land, God orchestrates a divine meeting between His prophet and a Gentile widow on the brink of death. Elijah's audacious command to "bring me the bread that's in your hand" reveals a powerful faith principle: the miracle is already in your possession—it just requires obedience.Through detailed teaching, Rick and Doc emphasize the necessity of recognizing what God has already placed in your hand, trusting Him with what little you have, and stepping into supernatural provision. The episode challenges viewers to respond in faith, even when resources seem depleted, and highlights God's ability to sustain His people through unexpected sources.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.
