Where Faith Begins, Part 1


Listen Later

We often hear that 'faith begins where you trust God's promise enough to obey his commands', but today we're going to witness how a mother's leap of trust and obedience underscores this profound truth.

Join us on a journey through one of Pastor Colin's favourite narratives—the tale of a widow and her son on the verge of their last meal, facing what seems to be the end of the line. But it's in this place of despair where God sends a prophet who asks for a sacrifice that borders on the unbelievable. The widow's response? To take a step of faith so staggering that it sets her on a remarkable path.

As we explore 1 Kings 17:17-24, Pastor Colin guides us through the heartache and triumph of this mother's journey, showcasing how her actions thread the needle between belief in a distant deity and the transformative power of following God's direction, no matter the cost. It's a story that not only reaches us through the Scriptures but echoes in our own lives, as we each grapple with placing our trust in God's promises.
