One Scoop from Empty
Donald Cantrell
1 Kings 17: 8 – 16
In this sermon we will see a widow that was one scoop from empty and one drop from death, but due to trusting in the promise of God, her family was sustained throughout a major draught. How many of us are facing draughts and famines in our personal lives, we are literally scraping the bottom of the barrel, we are one scoop from empty and the outlook seems to be dreary and devastating, but upon hearing from God, we are challenged to trust him, and he wants to sustain us in our famine.
Have you ever been one scoop from empty?
I – The Dual Stipulations “Heavenly Orders” (8 – 9)
II – The Desperate Situation “Hopeless Ordeal” (10 – 12)
III – The Difficult Suggestion “Heartfelt Options” (13 -14)
IV – The Delightful Supplementation “Hearty Outcome” (15 – 16)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline with sub-points.
Theme: “Trusting God when the barrel is one scoop from empty”
TRUSTING THE SCENT
Years ago I read the story of a man by the name of Wally who owned a farm in Connecticut. He had a remarkable talent he had with birds, chickadees specifically. It seems that every morning these little birds would flutter down and land on his hands. And it wasn’t just for food; he’d talk to them and they seemed to enjoy his companionship.
One woman who visited was so enthralled by what she asked for permission to try and get the birds to do that for her. She practiced for weeks, but never got one bird to land on her hand. Then one day, she tried something different. She put Wally’s fedora on her head and wrapped herself in his mackinaw. Seconds later, she was covered with birds.
They came to her, because they trusted Wally so much that they even trusted his scent on his clothes.
