Alone (Week 5): Widow of Zarephath – Alone in Financial Crisis (1 Kings 17)

Have you ever faced a financial crisis in your life? Maybe a job loss and things got tight or an unexpected expense that showed up suddenly? Do you remember that feeling of uncertainty and feeling alone in this financial or material crisis? The truth is, you’re not alone with those feelings. Most of us have probably been through the stress, worry, doubt, and fear that accompany financial struggles. The question is, does God intend for us to live like that? What can be done about it? This week, Pastor Clay is taking us to an Old Testament story about an encounter between one of God’s prophets, Elijah, and a poor widow to see what we can learn about facing the financial and material needs in our lives, as well as the role that faith plays in seeing our needs met and that feelings like fear and worry and loneliness become a distant memory.
