How To Improve Your Serve With God Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 12, 2021

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 19, 2022

Gehazi had to meet Elisha where he lied to Elisha, and God judged him by making him a leper. At that point Gehazi and Elisha separated for good. This sad, but important story has many lessons to teach us about our own deceitful natures.

Can God Still Use Me After I've Gotten Off To A Shaky Start?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 12, 2004

The beginning of Elisha’s solo ministry provides some insights into the mistakes that many of us make early in our walk with God.

- vv. 23-25. - This is simply a problem passage. It’s very difficult to explain - it seems so unnecessary and unbecoming to a prophet, especially when you compare Jesus’ statements on forgiveness. - How do we make sense of it? KEY THOUGHT: God works through imperfect people. - The tendency ...read more

The Double Portion

Contributed by Perry James on Nov 22, 2024

I also shortened some of the stories as needed.)* Hello, how is everyone? I have been ...read more

Elisha’s life or testimony can be summed up in a single verse: “As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand.”
