9-15-2014 - Chariots of Fire (2 Kings 2)


Days Of Elijah
Chariots of Fire – 2 Kings 2


1          A day comes when Elijah will be ‘taken’.  The discussion starts with Elijah inviting Elisha to stay behind several times.  What do you think this is about? 



2.         Any idea why Elijah parts the water with his cloak?



3.         Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit – what is he asking for?  And how does Elijah answer?  Why not a yes or no?



4          Elijah leaves in a very unique way…. Why do you think God did it like this?



5          The prophets don’t believe Elijah is gone – even though Elisha tells them.  Can we relate to their thinking? 



6.         Elisha heals some water – how does this problem and miracle fit in the story?



7.         The kids making fun of Elisha face some pretty serious consequences – is this extreme and vengeful?




For Next Time – Pornography… how do we live with this reality?  What is normal?  What effect is this issue having on us?  What can we do about it?  What should we do about it?
