Sermon Scripture: 2 Kings 2:1-14

Today, we’re focusing on Elisha’s story because it reveals one of the clearest ways God faithfully shows up in our lives: through mystery, through symbols, and through the people who guide us.

These guides—our friends, teachers, companions—invite us into something deeper. They help name and nurture the best of what God has placed within us. Symbols, meanwhile, are the physical reminders—of God’s calling, his provision, his faithfulness. And then there’s the mystery: the many ways God works beyond what we can explain, gently leading us into his story of renewal and hope.

Through all of these—guides, symbols, and sacred mystery—God is shaping us for the journey ahead.
