Legacy of a Trouble Maker
Legacy of a Trouble Maker
Elijah’s final work as a prophet is to raise up Elisha, who requests — and receives! — a “double portion” of his spirit. Like Elijah, our mission is not simply to be faithful in our day but also to help others be faithful, who can help others be faithful. This is the pattern we see in Jesus, too, and the command he gave us as his disciples. As we conclude our series in Elijah, we consider what it looks like to replicate, becoming communities that exist to grow, wrap others in, and continue to form disciples.
Community Practice: A Community That Replicates
Read 1 Kings 19: 19-21, 2 Kings 2: 8-15
Consider Elijah’s passing of the mantle to Elisha. What are we to learn? Why is it important?
What strengths do you bring to our community, and how will you share those?
How will we mentor the kids and youth within our community and beyond?
Who among us will we send to form a new community of discipleship and mission?
