Will God really provide for His children? In 1 Kings 17, God feeds the prophet Elijah by ravens and sustains a starving widow through a famine. In this sermon, Dr. Toby Holt shows how the God who provided then will look after His people now.

Questions this sermon answers:

1. What was Elijah's situation? He was in hiding from wicked Ahab and Jezebel, and God provided for him in the wilderness — even using ravens to bring him food.

2. What happened with the widow of Zarephath? Down to her last meal, she trusted God's word through Elijah, and her flour and oil did not run out through the famine.

3. What does this teach us? That God cares for His own and provides what they need. The God of the ravens and the widow's jar will look after you. "For thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth.'" — 1 Kings 17:14 (NKJV)
