Word of Salvation – Vol.46 No.19 - May 2001   Lost & Found   Sermon by Rev S Bajema on 2 Kings 22 Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 21:19 - 22:20   Beloved in the Lord, What do you feel when you’ve come to the end of the line?  That’s a time when we have to give something up, isn’t it?  Perhaps it was a job or business we had, or a course we were trying to study. We’ve tried our hardest.  We got whatever advice and help we could at that time.  We went as far as we could do.  And...

It does seem a harsh reaction on the part of Elisha.  He is, after all, the same Elisha who has just done such a life-restoring miracle with changing the water at Jericho.  He is the Elisha who later would do more gracious miracles; providing the oil which never stopped flowing for that widow,...

Pennings on 2Kings 2:8, 12b - 14 Scripture Reading: 2Kings 2   Sometimes our youth ask the question:, "What is really our place within the community of the church?"

For instance, we hold that youth unemployment is of a different nature than adult unemployment. That is why governments...
