    Elijah taken up in a whirlwind - not a chariot of fire as commonly taught

    2 Kings 2. 1-14 I am sure we all know a few lines of “Swing low sweet chariot, coming for to take me home…” An African-American spiritual. The date of composition is unknown. Taken now by English rugby fans, though the wheels of that chariot keep coming off, but that is for another day. The ...read more

    Why did Elisha insist (3 times) to go with Elijah to his fiery chariot ride... but all of the "sons of the Prophets" insisted on standing some distance away?

    (I opened the sermon by leading the congregation in an old hymn called "If Jesus Goes With Me I'll Go Anywhere". And then ended the sermon by singing the first verse and chorus with them again). In 1936, a 17 year old Bob Feller became a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, and he ...read more

    The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Elijah. (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint Available)

    Elisha had proven himself faithful in being Elijah’s disciple. He was now ready for a new ministry, an expanded ministry, an anointed ministry.

    Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022
     | 1,569 views

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.

     | 28,130 views

    Elijah & Elisha visited 4 places: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and the Jordan. Each one is highly significant in Israel’s history and I believe they are symbolic of key growth stages in Christ. Elisha had to complete each stage to gain the double anointing!
