Some people make an impression when they walk in a room AND some people make a greater impression when they exit. In this case, Elijah's ending is far more memorable than his beginning. In this ninth message from the "Peaks & Valleys" series, Pastor Joey looks at 2 Kings 2 and the "Pyromaniac Prophet's" unusual last day. This text highlights a test that Elijah gives to Elisha that emphasizes the strategic and persistent discipleship process. Also, Elisha's request to his predecessor/mentor emphases the importance of the Holy Spirit's empowering to accomplish the gospel purposes in life. We desperately need the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and empower us to faithful ministry. We witness a beautiful relationship between two faithful witnesses as the mantle is passed in ministry. Let the church today learn from this example of relational discipleship and ministry! Message preached on Sunday, March 10, 2024 at ParkerDC.
