What do you do when your brook dries up? In 1 Kings 17, Elijah discovers that even a place of miraculous provision can come to an end—and that ending is often God’s invitation to something new.
In this teaching, we walk through the story of Elijah, the ravens, the dried-up brook, and the widow of Zarephath to uncover timeless lessons about faith, obedience, and trust. God often uses ordinary people from
obscure places. He sometimes allows familiar sources of security to disappear. And when He does, it’s not punishment—it’s preparation.
This message speaks to anyone facing uncertainty: a job loss, a closed door, a season of waiting, or a moment when God seems late (but never is). We explore what it means to act in faith, trust God’s timing, meet the needs of others, and believe that God will supply what we need—often through people we never expected.
