Crossing Rivers: Passing the Mantle

August 08, 2021
Rev. Dr. Jacob Buchholz

So many world religions worry about who is next in line: as pope, as imam, and head of the church. In 2 Kings, the people are worried that there will be no more prophets once Elijah is gone, but Elisha appears to take up his mantle and continue his work. In the Gospel of John, Jesus declares that we are ALL his successors, and that we have all been called to carry on his ministry, in fact to exceed it! Join Pastor Jacob as he reminds us what it means for us to possess the Spirit of God.
