    One of the greatest revelations you will ever receive is to know who to partner with in life, wrong people can destroy you, the right people can accelerate you.

    Elisha returned alone after Elijah was caught up to heaven. As he approached the Jordan River he cried out "Where is the God of Elijah?" As we face challenges and obstructions today we may ask the same question.

    Where is the God of Elijah? Elisha was called by Elijah from what appears to have been a fairly affluent home 1Ki 19:19. He followed Elijah faithfully and humbly to the last. He had a firsthand view of Elijah’s later miracles and no doubt he heard graphic descriptions of the earlier ones. ...read more

    God allowed/permitted/organized/orchestrated Elisha to see Elijah being taken up into heaven! This was not for curiosity, thrill or personal gratification – but for a higher purpose!

    How did Elisha receive the double portion? He asked for it. He was totally focused, committed and sold out to it. And, he received it! How bad do you want it? Where are you in your spiritual journey today? Are you hard after God?

    Opening illustration: In 1937, missionaries were forced to leave southern Ethiopia because of World War II. They had reached the remote area of Wolayto only in 1928. Nine years later, there were only 48 converts, and they experienced brutal persecution because of their faith. Tears flowed on both ...read more

    This is not a full text sermon...it is an approach to the text; think of it as seed for a sermon.

    Upon reading today's text the first thing that springs to mind, quite honestly, is Erich von Daniken's 1968 book, "Chariots of the Gods?," and the several hours of my life that I will never get back for having watched so many of those late night documentaries on the History Channel about UFO's and ...read more
