First Cary UMC’s First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – April 26, 2026
In Elisha’s final moments, we see a prophet who has spent his life pointing people back to God, even as the nation around him falters. He speaks a word of promise to King Joash about God’s victory, and then, even in his death, God’s Spirit brings resurrection life when a man is raised from the grave by touching Elisha’s bones. God’s power is not limited by human frailty or even by the grave. Where kings and nations fail, God’s Spirit continues to move, bringing life in the most unexpected places. For us today, it means no situation, no season, and no part of our story is beyond God’s ability to bring new life.
