In this brief sermon, the speaker reflects on the biblical story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath to illustrate how two insufficient individuals can become sufficient through divine connection. He explains that the widow sustains Elijah physically by providing bread, while Elijah sustains her spiritually and materially by bringing revelation. Neither possesses everything, yet God links them, making each sufficient for the other. The speaker identifies Jesus as the “man in the middle,” the ultimate source of sufficiency who bridges human inadequacy. He concludes with an encouragement that when society counts people out, God counts them in, affirming their worth and purpose.

Now you see the theological connection. The vessel does not explain the treasure. The treasure explains what keeps happening through the vessel. Amen. And there is another dimension to this word sustain. The widow sustains Elijah physically, but Elijah's presence sustains her spiritually and materially. They need each other differently. The prophet has a word but needs bread to eat. The widow has a little bread but needs a word of confidence and consolation. Yes. Ah, Elijah carries revelation. Guess what she carries? She carries provision. Neither possess— neither one of them possess everything, but God connects 2 insufficient people and becomes the sufficiency between both of them. Who is the man in the middle? Jesus is. Amen. When people have counted you out and, and they said that you're no good, you're just like your family, you're no good, God counts you in.
