Kings Continued
Paul Pierucki · July 5, 2026 · 11:00 AM service
Pastor Pierucki continues his walk through 2 Kings, beginning in Hebrews 11 and 1 John 3 on faith and on being the sons of God, then reviewing the fire from heaven in chapter 1, Elisha's double portion, the widow's vessels of oil, Naaman's cleansing, Gehazi's greed, and the recovered axe head. He centers the message on 2 Kings 6, where Elisha's servant has his eyes opened to see the horses and chariots of fire, and he ties it to Psalms 91 and personal accounts of God's protection in his own life. He closes with the four lepers of chapter 7 who said they did not well to keep good news to themselves, urging hearers to seek God first, get their lives in order, and take the gospel to a lost world.
“And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. …”
