ELIJAH & ELISHA | The Art of Mentoring Series
Elijah and Elisha were prophetic powerhouses in the Old Testament. Elijah and Moses were the only two who visited Jesus at the Transfiguration. What lessons did Elijah pass along to Elisha that set him up to carry on as the voice of God to a nation and how can we pass these same lessons on to the people we are mentoring? Find out on Sunday as we continue in our series, The Art of Mentoring.
