Chaplain David Saltzman – “Prophets of Grace: Mirroring God’s Faithfulness” – Verdugo Community Church June 29, 2025

2025-06-30

In his sermon, “Prophets of Grace: Mirroring God’s Faithfulness,” Chaplain David Saltzman uses the story of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2, set just before Elijah is taken into heaven in a whirlwind, as an example of how to boldly live our faith in the present, trusting in God’s love and power. Elisha faithfully shared the journey with Elijah, who mentored Elisha and willingly handed over his mantle of leadership to him when the time came. As prophets they pointed to God, not to the future, and to hope, not fear, to encourage us to follow God in our spiritual journey.
