Back to EpisodesAddition & Multiplication 2 Kings 4:42-44
Description
Today we look at a series of miracle stories featuring the prophets Elijah and Elisha where God multiplies the small offering of someone who is on the margins and has little to offer. God invites them to give what they have and trust that they will be provided for. Not subtraction, but addition and multiplication somehow happen time and again, just as God promises through the prophets. Through their act of faithful giving and obedience, they are taken care more than they could have on their own.
