"Faith & Hope" (I Corinthians 13:13)
Originally Delivered: December 6, 2009
Message Length: 35 min.
Abstract - Pastor Don starts a series of messages with this one on Faith and Hope.  Have you ever wanted to do something that was so big you knew God would have to be part of it?  He uses the story of the Zarephath Widow to demonstrate both these virtues.  Note that even though the widow had nothing she obeyed the Elijah and gave him, on faith, what she had.  She also did not allow herself to dwell on negative thinking.

If we are to be successful in what we want to accomplish in the Lord's name we must have faith and demonstrate Hope.  Are you ready to hear words of wisdom that might very well enable you to do great things?  Listen on . . .
