God is calling all of us to a ridiculous faith. Not ridiculous in a bad way… but ridiculous in a good way. Many words today have two meanings. They mean what they mean but they also mean the opposite. That is how it works with ridiculous. Over the next three weeks, we are going to be looking at stories from the life of Elisha the prophet. Our desire is to see how we can live lives of ridiculous faith so that we can please God!

 

Tonight we are going to be looking at the beginning of Elisha’s story. We’ll see how God used Elijah the prophet to call Elisha to be one of the greatest prophets ever! We’ll see from the calling of Elisha what great commitment looks like. This story shows us that you don’t have to know all the details to fully obey God. Our culture tells us the opposite, but God calls us to simply follow His calling! We also see that those God uses the most are those who hold on to the least. God calls us to step away from our security and pursue our destiny He’s called us to!
