We love people that are passionate about something, we reward their passion, their commitment… we put gold medals around their necks, or pay lots of money to see them play, or sing, or perform… sometimes we look up to those people as if they were a rare breed, and they are. Very few people are truly committed to an activity, but those who are stand out from the rest.

And so, we value that, but we think we don’t have what it takes. And most of us would say “I know I don’t have what it takes or I’d be doing something else”, and you may be right, but today we are going to learn that God is passionate about His covenant, He’s passionate about rescuing us from our sin and debauchery, and He is also passionate about making you passionate about Him.

And as we study this last chapter in the life of Elisha, my prayer is that at the end of this service you will be able to be fully committed to Christ.
