The Chariots and Horsemen of Israel:
A Study of Elisha's Ministry in 2 Kings
Internal politics,
international menace,
the ever-present reality of
death, disease, and debt
rock the security of
God's people.
But there is more to this world than meets the eye. There is a man who speaks for the true and living God. This God is present and involved, not only in matters of state and national importance, but also in the personal needs of common people.
Elijah, the great prophet of Israel, has been carried to Heaven in a chariot of fire,
but God is still present with His people. The Holy Spirit, who had empowered Elijah, now rests upon his successor, Elisha. He will bless and curse and perform amazing miracles on the order of those done by Elijah. He will oversee the seminaries of prophets and admonish Israel’s kings. He will heal and prophesy to foreign dignitaries, reveal the secret plots of Israel’s enemies, open the eyes of the blind and blind the eyes of those who can see, even raise the dead; and the fame of Israel’s God will spread to the nations.
This is more than a cool Bible Story; it is history. It provides a window into the unseen world, shows us the power of God; and like everything else in Scripture, it points us to Jesus.
Come study with us!
PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY
We believe that women need Jesus. Our lives are not about our social or financial status, our clothes, our appearance, our jobs, our homes, our righteousness or our perfection. Only Jesus saves. Only Jesus satisfies. Our purpose is to nurture women in their relationship with Jesus.
We believe that women need the Word of God. We need truth, encouragement, hope and support as we face the many challenges of life as singles, wives, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, neighbors, employers, employees, and friends. The Word of God is relevant in every stage and circumstance of our lives. It equips us to live our lives well and to minister the grace of God in a broken world. Our purpose is to study the Scripture and apply its truth and power to our lives.
We believe that women need other women. We need sisters and friends to walk with us in life. We need to share our struggles, our sorrows and our joys. We need the wisdom and counsel of older women who have been there. We need the support of Christian friends whose faith is real, who will listen, encourage, and pray for us. We need to belong, and we believe that each woman has something to contribute to our group. Our purpose is to nurture friendships among Christian women.
We believe that women need the church and the church needs women. As we minister to women and build them up in faith and friendship, we are strengthening not only individuals but also their families and the church. Our purpose is to equip and inspire women to live and minister well in their homes, in the church, and in the world.
