Introduction

A. This account of the Shunammite’s son is one which teaches us about faith.

B. The story shows us something about what faith is and how it works?

C. Actually the story doesn’t speak of her faith directly, but the events in the passage demonstrates it (2 Kings 4:8-10).

D. It is more important to demonstrate our faith than to talk about it (James 2:26).

E. The author recognizes her as a “great” woman, not only because she came from a prominent family, but because of her faith also (2 Kings 4:8).

F. However there are two things God wants to see taking place in our faith.
