Introduction

“Stand firm” is the keyword used in this passage.  It’s vital that we understand this word properly because it’s the key to unlocking the whole passage.

In military sense of the word “stand firm” means to holding one’s ground. “steko” is how the word is rendered in Greek and it gives the same meaning, (to stand firm in faith and duty, to be constant, to persevere, to remain steadfast and to continue in a state.)

Sermon: Elisha and the widow

Introduction

James Dobson tells the true story of a little toddler named Frankie. He was a handful to say the least. One day he pulled a chair over to the front window of his house, and carefully placed it inside the drapes. He was standing there staring out at the world when his mother came looking for him. She spied his little white legs protruding beneath the drapes, and quietly slipped in behind him to see what he was doing. She got there just to hear him say to himself in very somber terms, “I’ve GOT to get out of here!”

Do you ever feel trapped? Have you ever felt like you were at the end of your rope? What do you do when you reach that point? The realist would say, “Just tie a knot and hang on.” The pessimist would say, “You might as well let go; it’s only going to get worse.” The optimist might say, “Just tie another knot and keep on climbing.” Each of those has its merits but, in reality, what can you do?

Some are in that very place today! You are at the end of your rope and there is a long drop beneath you and you do not know what to do.

A Bible study on giving for Christian missions

giving for Christian missionsActs 20:35 exhorts us to give to please God, for our giving to be honored in heaven and to receive abundant blessings from God.

How do we give?

1. Our giving should be orderly and disciplined. 1 Corinthians 16:2 Paul instructs the church to give every first day of the week when the Church meets together.

2. We are to give according to the measure that God has given us. While this was requirement in the OT, the NT encourages us to give out of gratitude and not out of compulsion.
