Opening a short series on neglected areas of gratitude, the sermon uses 2 Kings 6 to show that God is with his people even when an overwhelming enemy seems to surround them. Elisha’s fearful servant is contrasted with Elisha’s faithful prayer, and Romans 8, Hebrews 1:14, and Psalm 34 are cited to show God’s care for his people. Three conclusions are drawn: the enemy does not recognize God’s presence with his people, God’s people often fail to realize it, and it can be realized by faith. The sermon closes with an invitation to become part of God’s people through faith, repentance, and baptism, and to live by faith rather than fear.
