In ancient times, the widow of a preacher was in desperate financial straits and was about to be sold into slavery along with her two sons. She sought the Prophet Elisha for help. All she had left was a jar of oil. She followed Elisha’s instructions. God blessed the oil and multiplied it according to her faith and obedience. The same principle applies to us today. God can use whatever we have, even though that is not much apart from God. God can bless and multiply whatever we give to Him. What is impossible with man is possible with God. However, we must step out in obedience to His guidance. Tune in as Richard L. Hamlet shares observations from 2 Kings 4:1-7 on hope for desperate times.
Real Time in the Marketplace
In Memphis, Tennessee, Mark and Amanda Price founded Camp Conquest. This unique camp is a Christ-centered, overnight camp for children and adults with special needs, chronic illnesses, and disabilities.
Mark and Amanda’s desire is to provide the resources and watch others with disabilities overcome the difficulties that they are faced with in life. This is an important concept behind the vision and name of Camp Conquest. Overcoming obstacles and opposition is important for all of us, but is especially valuable for those who face life with extra challenges. As campers leave Camp Conquest, they leave with a whole new self-worth and confidence that they did not have before.
