God Works Through Hospitality

In this powerful message, we explore the transformative power of hospitality through the lens of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. This story reminds us that God often calls us to act from a place of scarcity, not abundance. The widow, with only a handful of flour and a little oil, obeys God's command to feed Elijah first. Through her faith and obedience, God miraculously provides for all of them. This challenges us to trust God even when we feel we don't have enough, reminding us that when God calls us to do something, He provides everything we need. The story also beautifully illustrates how God works through hospitality to sustain and give life, not just physically but spiritually. As we practice genuine hospitality - inviting others into our real lives in Christ - we create opportunities for God to work miracles and transform lives. This message encourages us to step out in faith, trusting that God can use our seemingly small offerings to make a significant impact.
