Shadows of the Past Part 5: Carry the Baton


The Spirit of Elisha

The main trait of Elisha: commitment
*2 kings 2:1-18 (Elijah leaves)

Two people that Elisha was committed to:
Elijah (His teacher)
God (his Lord)
Through out the history of Elisha we can see him living out what Elijah stood for and that is the will and for the things of God (john 14:12)

We are called to do great things! But how?
Trust God has your back
2 kings 6:8-20 (blind Armenian)
Always follow God even when it does make sense
2 kings 4:1-17 (widows oil)
Take what you have learned and put it to use
2 kings 4:18-37 (shunammite's son)
Final Point

John 14:12


Jesus has called us to do great things! We must take what we have learned from our leaders and mentors and ________________ it.
