The Test of First Impressions

First impressions are powerful—but they can also be misleading. In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy walks through the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17, showing how God often calls us to trust beyond what we initially see. What looked like a hopeless situation became a miraculous testimony because Elijah didn’t let appearances override obedience.Whether it’s a new job, relationship, ministry, or season of life, the beginning can feel uncertain. But, like Elijah, we’re called to live by faith, not by sight. God’s plans are often hidden beneath humble beginnings, and His promises always outweigh our perceptions. Don’t let early doubts rob you of later blessings—trust that God is at work beyond first impressions.Key Scripture: 1 Kings 17:8–16Visit Us Here Follow/Subscribe Here
