Summary

In the first of the "Elijah: God's Strength Found in Weakness" series, Pastor Todd highlights the story of the sidonian widow. We learn about trusting in God's at his word, and how often times our unrealistic expectations combined or a lack of gratitude can cause us to doubt God in the face of hard times. In the story, the widow is faced with a situation of suffering that gives her the opportunity to express faith and trust.

About the Speaker

Pastor Todd Murphy | Lead Pastor

Todd came to the faith at the age of 19 after growing up in the skateboarding indie-punk culture of the 80’s. He lives with his beautiful wife Christine and six healthy boys, Judah, Anson, Keegan, Aiden, Cailan, and Rowan in a suburb of Providence. Todd is an accomplished Bible teacher with an BA in Biblical studies and MA in Hebrew Bible studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He has also taught biblical studies for the department of Philosophy and Religion at Western Kentucky University, and is the author of the Pocket Dictionary for the Study of Biblical Hebrew (InterVarsity Press, 2003). When not writing, preaching or teaching, he can often be found playing Xbox with his sons or surfing with Judah. Once in a while you might even still catch him skateboarding.
