Elisha and the End of His Beginning

June 23, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This Sunday we begin a new series out of 2 Kings that will focus on the life and ministry of Elijah's successor Elisha. Read 2 Kings 1-2 and consider what rises to the surface of Elijahs' final assignment as a prophet of the Lord and how he passes the torch to Elisha. Consider the statements Elisha made, the questions he asks, and the miracles he performs. What is going on in him as he watches his beloved mentor and spiritual father depart from this world? Consider this question: How does one who claims to believe in God, live as if God is not real?

More from Elisha and the God Who Sees; A Study in 2 Kings

Elisha and the God Who Sees Every Evil

August 11, 2024

This week we look at God’s awareness of evil in 2 Kings 8:7-15 Read this story and consider why the prophet responds they way he does. Read John 11:1-37. Can you relate to the comments made in verse 37? What do these two stories tell you about how God perceives events versus how we perceive events? Who really has control?

Elisha and a Brutal Famine

August 4, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we look at a story of suffering in 2 Kings 6:24-7:20. Read the story and consider the king's reaction. Who does he blame? Why does he do this? Read Deuteronomy 28:52-53 - what does this tell you about what Israel is experiencing? What does this story tell you about sin, its effect, and what it means to trust God?

Elisha and the Invisible Army

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Seth A

This week we continue our study in 2 Kings with a look at a powerful story in 2 Kings 6:8-23. Read the story and consider why the servant felt like he did and how Elisha's response and prayer for his servant is timely and applicable to us today. Read the stories about Jesus and the disciples in Mark 4:35-41 and Mark 8:14-21. How are these similar to the story in 2 Kings? What is the overarching message?
