November 10, 2024, Pentecost 25B: "A Leap of Faith"

When Elijah happens upon a destitute foreign widow during a famine, he makes an audacious (and possibly offensive) request that she feed him before she feeds herself and her son. Yet, something within her moves her to do so, trusting his promise that the oil and flour will last. Why does she take such a leap of faith? How can we trust God when all we might see is scarcity? And how can we as church together take such leaps for the good of our neighbors? Pastor David preaches “A Leap of Faith” based on 1 Kings 17:8-16.
