We live in a world that tells us “more is better," more success, more money, more recognition. But Jesus flips the script: less is more. From Roz in The Wild Robot to the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings, we see that real life isn't found in clinging to what looks valuable now, but in surrendering it to make room for something far greater. Paul reminds us in Galatians 5 that the fruit of the flesh leaves us empty, while the fruit of the Spirit fills us with life. This message challenges us to stop holding on to what keeps us comfortable and start aligning with God's will because when love is the root, sacrifice becomes the fruit.
Can you trust God with an uncertain future? And what happens when you don't? In this episode, Stephen Davey walks you through two parallel stories in 2 Kings 8—one about a faithful widow, the other about a power-hungry politician. When famine strikes, the Shunammite widow obeys God and leaves everything behind, with no promise of return. Seven years later, she comes home to find her story being told in the king's court—at the exact moment she walks in. Is that coincidence, or divine providence? Meanwhile, Elisha confronts Hazael, a royal servant hiding a deadly secret. Elisha's stare exposes what Hazael won't admit—his ambition to kill the king and seize the throne. In a heartbreaking turn, Hazael does exactly that. These stories reveal two timeless truths. First, God works in the lives of those who trust Him, even when obedience brings hardship. Second, temptation isn't always loud—it often begins in silence, when no one's watching. Stephen reminds you that God is just as present in quiet faithfulness as He is in exposing hidden sin. This episode will help you recognize God's providence, resist temptation, and recommit to a life of courage and integrity.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encouraged us to embrace the power of declaring things in faith, emphasizing that these declarations are not prayers but bold statements rooted in our trust in God's promises. He shared biblical examples, like David facing Goliath and the Shunammite woman declaring “It is well,” to show how faith-filled words can overcome obstacles and align us with God's destiny. Pastor Jack reminded us that God often doesn't reveal the full picture upfront, and unexpected challenges arise—but by decreeing His truth, we navigate those trials and step into His plans. He challenged misconceptions about God's sovereignty, stressing that our faith activates His power, and urged us to reject doubt and tradition to live boldly in His promises. The message closed with a call to declare God's truth over our lives, trusting that our current struggles are preparing us for greater things.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

This message from P246 Church (Jesus Generation) is a life-changing reminder that God calls His children to live in bold faith, refuse the status quo, and claim their inheritance in Christ.Drawing from Ecclesiastes 10, the daughters of Zelophehad (Numbers 27), and the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 8), Pastor Nana Boadum, PhD, reveals how believers can:Recognize and reject the “evil under the sun”—circumstances that don't reflect God's will for your life.Come boldly before God's throne like the daughters of Zelophehad, declaring, “Give us what is ours!”Pray with desperation and faith that moves heaven and breaks cycles of delay and oppression.Step into divine restoration and rest, receiving not only what was lost but also the increase and interest God adds to His children.This is more than a sermon—it's a call to action to rise in faith, embrace your covenant rights, and step into the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10.Listen, be stirred to pray, and get ready to experience restoration, favor, and breakthrough in every area of your life!
More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Send us a textHave you ever been in a wilderness season for an extended period of time? I'm in one now, and Jamie MacDonald's song Desperate resonated deeply with me. When we explore the stories of desperate people in Scripture, we find that God consistently shows up in powerful ways. This week, we follow the example of one such person—the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings—and discover how faith-fueled contentment can coexist with crisis.Scripture References2 Kings 4:8-37Key PointsDesperation comes in many forms. Scripture reveals both positive and negative responses to desperation—such as the woman with the issue of blood versus Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of stew.Faith-fueled contentment is not denial. The Shunammite woman's “all is well” was not a pep talk—it was a declaration rooted in deep faith.Desperation doesn't have to drive you from God—it can drive you to Him. In her moment of crisis, the Shunammite woman didn't send word—she went to the prophet herself and clung to his feet.Unmet desires don't negate contentment. Even though she didn't ask for a son, the longing was still there—and God met it. But when the promise seemed lost, she chose action rooted in belief.Observing biblical narrative carefully leads to powerful insight. Repetition, character details, and implied time gaps all deepen our understanding of the text and help us engage more fully.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) UsedRead in context – Engage with the full narrative in 2 Kings 4:8-37.Repetition – Read and re-read the passage to become familiar with the details.Make observations – Write down what you notice in the text.Use your imagination – Picture the setting and feel the emotions in the scene.Define words – Look up and explore both meanings and antonyms.Consider the opposite – What does it mean not to be desperate? What does contentment look like?Use the SPECK method: S – Is there a sin to avoid?P – Is there a promise revealed?E – Is there an example to follow?C – Is there a command to obey?K – What should I know about God?Additional ResourcesLyrics and chords - New Release TodayMy friend Denise Pass's book Make Up Your Mind and her speaking live on the Shunammite woman has informed this episode - link to Make Up Your MindFree Episode Guide Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead this narrative for yourself in 2 Kings 4:8-37.

In the midst of suffering or experiencing the effects of sin, it's easy to trust our feelings, fears, or what we see in front of us. But walking through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:8–31 and 8:1–6, Pastor Brian Davis shows us that real hope comes from trusting God's Word, His Spirit, and His people.
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0421A recorded on September 20, 1981 teaching from 2 Kings 4:18-30 – The Greatest Weakness of the Man of God. Pastor Cyril A.

Have we ever considered the secret to miracles? In this powerful message, we explore the story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings 4:8-10, who teaches us a profound lesson: making room for God in our lives. This well-to-do woman's decision to create a special space for the prophet Elisha led to an unexpected miracle - the gift of a child. Her story challenges us to examine our own lives and ask: Are we too busy for God? Have we made space for Him to dwell, not just visit? The message unpacks the symbolism of the room's contents - a lamp, table, chair, and bed - representing illumination, nourishment, rest, and dreaming with God. By intentionally creating these spaces in our daily lives, we open ourselves to God's transformative power and miracles. This story reminds us that every miracle, including our spiritual lives, needs reviving. It encourages us to return to our first love, to make time for God, and to persevere in prayer, even when miracles don't happen instantly.

Every trial and struggle we face in life has a voice; it is calculated to speak to us and teach us. It is true that God never waste a trial. Join us in 2 Kings 4 this week as we consider what it is that God is working toward in the life of a woman […]
Elisha cared for the Shunammite woman after he raised her son from the dead by warning her to sojourn elsewhere during a famine. When she returned, the king of Israel showed that he was not entirely faithless by returning her family land. Elisha began to fulfill the ministry of Elijah by telling Hazael that he would be king in Syria, and God brought that word to fulfillment. In those days, the line of David intermarried with the line of Ahab, leading to trouble in the kingdom of Judah. Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Kings 8:1-29. To learn more about Trinity, visit www.trinitylutheranottumwa.com. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Rev. James Harper preaches on 2 Kings 4:25-37 as part of the sermon series on Elisha the prophet, connecting the story with the power of Jesus's resurrection. The story of the Shunammite woman demonstrates profound truths about hope triumphing over grief. After receiving a miraculous son through the prophet Elisha, she faced devastating loss when the child died. Instead of accepting death, she demonstrated remarkable faith by placing her son in Elisha's bed and seeking the prophet's help. Her declaration that 'all is well' amid tragedy reveals a deep understanding that hope, through God's power, ultimately defeats grief. This ancient story connects to the eternal hope we have through Christ's resurrection, showing that while grief is temporary, hope is eternal.

As we press on in a season of fasting and praying for spiritual awakening in our lives, our churches, and our city – let's revisit a story of how God metaphorically moved a mountain in response to a faith-filled request. The raising of the Shunammite woman's son is an illustration of the limits of earthly prosperity and power in contrast to the unbounded mercy and might of the Lord.
In this episode, the Shunammite woman visits Elisha in distress because she dared to hope and it seems like those hopes have been dashed!

He shared the story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings, whose faith led to her son's miraculous resurrection and the restoration of her property with seven years of increase, demonstrating God's ability to redeem time and circumstances. Pastor Jack reminded us that through Christ, the New Testament offers even greater promises, ensuring restoration not just externally but deep within our hearts, healing emotional wounds and brokenness. He encouraged us to trust in God's unwavering forgiveness and believe for restoration without hesitation, urging us to maintain hope, pursue God's way, and envision a future where His blessings overflow in every area of our lives.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the biblical concept of supernatural restoration and what it means for those experiencing loss and setbacks in their lives. Drawing from the profound teachings in Joel 2:23-25, we explore how God's restoration goes beyond merely recovering what was lost - it's about receiving something greater.

Whether you're facing financial setbacks, broken relationships, or delayed dreams, this episode offers both spiritual insight and practical wisdom for positioning yourself for supernatural restoration.Join us as we explore how seasons of loss can become foundations for greater blessing, and learn why God's restoration often exceeds what was originally lost.

She went with her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 3 And at the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to appeal to the king for her house and her land. 4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.” 5 And while he was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, here is the woman, and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed an official for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, together with all the produce of the fields from the day that she left the land until now.”

This episode dives into how the habits we build create a space for God to dwell.

Let's choose habits that welcome His presence into our daily lives!

Grateful for the Gravy. Today, Pastor Michael is returning to the Old Testament, in 2 Kings, about a lesson in the ministry of Elisha, the prophet. One day, he's going through Shunem, and a couple invited him to dinner. After one of many visits, the wife asked her husband to build a room for Elisha when he came through. Gahezi traveled with Elisa through Shunem, so Gahezi retrieved the woman from the house, and they asked her, “What can we do to repay you for your generosity?” The woman wanted nothing, but Gahezi reminded Elisha that she had no children. So, Elisha prophesied to her that she would bear a son, and she did! That son was in the fields with his father and collapsed, dying. So the woman went to Elisha and told him the story, so Elisha went back to their house and found the child dead. Elisha went to the child and prayed to God over the boy, and the boy came to life! Later, the Lord told Elisha that a famine would come, so Elisha told the woman of this and that she needed to leave the country. She left the country and lived with the Philistines for seven years. Finally, it was time to come back. But while they were gone, strangers had moved into their house and taken over. She took her cause up with the king, and Gehazi was visiting with the king when she was there! And Gehazi talked about numerous miracles, concerning Elisha's ministry. The woman relayed that the stories Gehazi told were true and that she and her son were the recipients of some of the miracles. The king was impressed enough to restore her home and lands. Had she not experienced the tragedy years before, she would not have experienced the triumph later! (CSB Bible Notes) The next episode introduced a flashback seven years earlier when Elisha advised the Shunammite woman to sojourn outside Israel during a famine (8:1–2). Because she now has to reclaim her land from the king, one wonders if the king somehow appropriated the land in her absence (8:3). There is a miracle of timing: at the very moment, the king is asking Gehazi about Elisha's mighty deeds, the woman shows up with her son!

It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “All is well.” 24 Then she saddled the donkey, and she said to her servant, “Urge the animal on; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, there is the Shunammite. 26 Run at once to meet her and say to her, ‘Is all well with you? Is all well with your husband? Is all well with the child?'” And she answered, “All is well.” 27 And when she came to the mountain to the man of God, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came to push her away. But the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is in bitter distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.” 28 Then she said, “Did I ask my lord for a son? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me?'” 29 He said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment and take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child.” 30 Then the mother of the child said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he arose and followed her. 31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or sign of life. Therefore he returned to meet him and told him, “The child has not awakened.” 32 When Elisha came into the house, he saw the child lying dead on his bed. 33 So he went in and shut the door behind the two of them and prayed to the Lord. 34 Then he went up and lay on the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as he stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child became warm. 35 Then he got up again and walked once back and forth in the house, and went up and stretched himself upon him. The child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 36 Then he summoned Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her. And when she came to him, he said, “Pick up your son.” 37 She came and fell at his feet, bowing to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.

So whenever he passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food. 9 And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of God who is continually passing our way. 10 Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.” 11 One day he came there, and he turned into the chamber and rested there. 12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?'” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.” 14 And he said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 He said, “Call her.” And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway. 16 And he said, “At this season, about this time next year, you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God; do not lie to your servant.” 17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son about that time the following spring, as Elisha had said to her.
Preston Scott | October 13, 2024In this message, Preston Scott teaches from 2 Kings 7-8. In these chapters, the city of Samaria suffers a severe famine, leading to desperate acts, but four lepers discover an abandoned Syrian camp filled with supplies and bring news of deliverance. Their courageous act contrasts with King Jehoram's disbelief, emphasizing the struggle between faith and doubt. Also, the Shunammite woman, previously aided by Elisha, experiences God's faithfulness when her land is restored, demonstrating that God remains sovereign and true to His promises despite human failures.
