Title: Desperate Times Make Us Desperate for Him (2 of 4)
Series: Elisha: When Ordinary Faith Won't Do
Author: Scott Maze
Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7, 38-44
As the summer heat finally relents here in North Texas, we are looking at the life of Elisha. Elisha shows us how to remain faithful during challenging times.
There is a lot to like about Elisha during the super challenging times he lived. Elisha was a godly man in a time when so many people just didn't care about God. Watch his heart on display carefully. Watch him carefully as he protects widows and orphans and feeds the hungry.
The Lord uses this man greatly. Find 2 Kings 4 with me if you will. As we will see, Elisha is God's man in a time when the majority of people are apathetic about God.

And when one is full, set it aside." So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another." Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest" (2 Kings 4:1-7).
"And Elisha came again to Gilgal when there was a famine in the land. And as the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he said to his servant, "Set on the large pot, and boil s ...
