Summary

An impoverished widow cries out to Elisha while she is in crisis. In general, poverty has deeply personal, spiritual, and communal dimensions; thus, a millionaire can have an impoverished inner life. Like the widow, we can present all we have to God and take steps of faith to allow Him into our poverty and find help. Like He did with the widow, God uses community (i.e. the church) to help those without material and/or spiritual resources.

Elisha and the Widow

2 Kings 4:1-7

By Jim Leffel

Teaching Date: 06/30/2019

An impoverished widow cries out to Elisha while she is in crisis. In general, poverty has deeply personal, spiritual, and communal dimensions; thus, a millionaire can have an impoverished inner life. Like the widow, we can present all we have to God and take steps of faith to allow Him into our poverty and find help. Like He did with the widow, God uses community (i.e. the church) to help those without material and/or spiritual resources.\r\n
