Taste & See: Oil

November 12, 2017
Rev. Dr. Jacob Buchholz

2 Kings 4 presents a fable of the prophet Elisha multiplying jars of oil to save a woman and her sons from debt slavery. How did the people of Israel use this story to declare a new message about the economics of God's Kingdom? How can something so small like a jar of oil provide us with hope in our moments of greatest need? Taste and See that God is good!
