Would you obey God if His instructions seemed completely counterintuitive? Elijah faced exactly that: commanded to announce a drought, then sent to drink from a brook that would inevitably dry up during that same drought. This powerful sermon explores the prophet's unwavering obedience and reveals three critical truths about Christian stewardship. Discover why God sometimes brings circumstances into your life that are beyond your ability to endure—and why that's actually part of His loving design. Learn the transformative purpose behind trials that make you question God's plan, and understand the confrontational nature of faithfully proclaiming the gospel in a hostile world. Through Elijah's journey from the brook Cherith to the widow of Zarephath, you'll gain biblical insight into submission, sovereignty, and the impact your faithful obedience can have on others—even when you never see the results. If you're facing circumstances that don't make sense, this message offers hope grounded in God's perfect character.
