    [This sermon began with a monologue. It presumed that Elijah needed to fill Elisha in on what had gone before. With dramatic license, it recounts what is in the Bible’s account, even though the Bible doesn’t specify that Elijah actually filled Elisha in or needed to fill Elisha in on Elijah’s ...read more

    Churches and preachers may have told you in the past that if you don’t put God first you might be in sin. I want to tell you that nowhere in the Bible it says that if you don’t put God first you are committing a sin…oh what a relief! The bad news is that
