There are a lot of powerful people in 2 Kings 5: Naaman, the Syrian general and his wife; the King of Syria and the King of Israel; and the Prophet Elisha, too.

But like the waters of the river Jordan, the Spirit flows through them and lifts them up for us to see and celebrate. (2 Kings 5:1-14) Rev. John Gage, preaching.
