In this Village Church sermon podcast, Pastor Eric looks at Elijah being taken up into heaven by the chariots of fire. He focuses on Elisha, his calling, and the way the prophets in the surrounding towns tried to distract him from following Elijah to the end. Pastor Eric also explores Elisha’s request for a double portion, what that request means, and how the role of prophet takes shape in Scripture. The sermon then invites listeners to consider their own New Testament prophetic calling as people who speak God’s truth, remember God’s story, and faithfully follow Jesus in the places where he has called them.
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
