In 2 Kings 2:1–19, Elijah’s ministry comes to an end and Elisha’s begins. Yet the work of God does not end with Elijah. The Lord is eternal, His Word remains unchanged, and His kingdom continues from one generation to the next.

This sermon calls the church to prepare faithfully for endings and beginnings. All men come to an end, each generation must invest in the next, and God’s people must affirm faithful calling and service for the ongoing witness of the gospel.
