Sermon Series on Elijah and Elisha (Spring 2008)This semester we’re looking at two of the most
well known prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah and Elisha. Although neither
has a book of the Bible named for them as do other prophets, nor did either
write anything in the Bible, both have some of the most memorable accounts of
God’s work surrounding them. As we
will see, Elijah and Elisha point forward to the much greater prophet,
Jesus—many of whose amazing works are reminiscent of Elijah and Elisha. From
both, we hear the prophetic call to faith and repentance as we live in this
world as those who do not belong to this world.
