This sermon takes a look at the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath. Typically the story is seen as the example of great faith of the widow when she, through faith in Elijah’s God, she provides for him first. This sermon takes a look at the story from Elijah’s perspective: how he is commanded to go to the heart of Baal worship and ask for help from a pagan, a woman, and a widow. This is a story of God’s faithfulness to his servant by providing for him through someone completely outside of cultural and religious orthodoxy.
