November series: Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35, NIrV) However, sometimes generosity doesn’t come naturally to us. When we really enjoy the things we have, sometimes that makes it harder for us to be willing to share with others. But, with the help of God’s Spirit, we can learn that HOW we give is more important than even WHAT we give. It’s about our hearts.

You always have something to give.
Widow of Zarephath • 1 Kings 17:7-16
This week, we read about a miracle found in 1 Kings 17:7- 16. During a drought, the prophet Elijah visited a widow in Zarephath. This woman barely had anything left for her family, let alone for him. Yet, she trusted God and gave everything she had to Elijah… and God provided for them above and beyond what they expected.
Family Discussion Questions:
- What do you have a lot of that you could share?
- What is something you have that’s hard to share?
- What helps you remember that you always have something to give?
Engage in everyday moments together this week:
- Morning Time: As your kid starts their day, share a time when you saw them be generous.
- Meal Time: At a meal this week, have everyone at the table answer this question: “Has there ever been a time when someone needed something and you weren’t sure you had enough to help them?”
- Drive Time: While on the go, ask your kid, “What is something someone gave or shared with you that meant a lot to you?”
- Bed Time: Pray for each other: “God, when we see someone in need, help us to know how to help them with what we have.”
