The Widow’s Oil

The Widow’s Oil

Sermon text: 2 Kings 4:1-7
The wife of a prophet was in dire straits. Her husband was dead and she was in debt. The creditor was planning to enslave her young sons to recover his money. She came to Elisha begging him for help. The prophet asked what she had in her house. She responded that she had nothing but a jar of oil. But the Lord used that jar of oil in a mighty way! And how God used that oil has a number of lessons for us today.
