Big God Small Problems

Big God Small Problems
Pastor Blake Hanson | 11.5.23 

2 Kings 6:1–7 (NLT)

1 One day the group of prophets came to Elisha and told him, “As you can see, this place where we meet with you is too small. 

2 Let’s go down to the Jordan River, where there are plenty of logs. There we can build a new place for us to meet.” “All right,” he told them, “go ahead.” 

3 “Please come with us,” someone suggested. “I will,” he said. 

4 So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they began cutting down trees. 

5 But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!” 

6 “Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the ax head floated to the surface. 

7 “Grab it,” Elisha said. And the man reached out and grabbed it.

There’s benefits to hanging out with – people 

2 Kings 6:3(NLT) 

3 “Please come with us,” someone suggested. “I will,” he said. 

Proverbs 13:20 (NLT)

20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.

1 Corinthians 15:33 (NLT)

33 Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.”

God cares about of our problems

2 Kings 6:5 (NLT)

5 But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!”

God is omnipotent: No limits to His power 

Psalm 37:23 (NLT)

23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.

Matthew 10:29–30 (NLT)

29 What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 

30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.

Preparing for a miracle is part of a miracle. 

2 Kings 6:6–7 (NLT)

6 “Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the ax head floated to the surface. 

7 “Grab it,” Elisha said. And the man reached out and grabbed it.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NLT)

7 For we live by believing and not by seeing.

Hebrews 11:6 (NLT)

6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
