When Generosity is Tested (3 of 5)
Series: Supernatural

1 Kings 17


We are in week three of our series; Supernatural; when God turns your life around. The heart of this series is simple but life changing; God wants to work in our life supernaturally. We are not limited to our own ability. God is greater and works invisibly. Christianity is not just doing our best for God but God lifting and intervening in our lives. God rules and works in natural and supernatural realm. Supernatural resources are not just for the spiritual elite but for all of God's people... Real people like you and me.

Even when everything around is against us. He is the God of provision... Who lifts us above the overwhelming demands of life... and brings us peace and joy in the midst of our challenges.

This is a vital issue for all of us. The pressure and demands on our resources can ruin our joy, open the door to mental illness and stain our families. Financial fear is one of the great hinderers of living God's liberating life
