SERMON NOTES 
I. The friendships we forge in the faith become an enduring part of our legacy.
II. Witnessing true godliness causes us to hunger for a deeper faith in our own lives.
III. It’s up to us to take up the cloak. It’s up to God to provide the power.

FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION
- Has the "Memorial" part of Memorial Day worked into your plans for this long weekend? If so, how?
- Read 1 Kings 19:19-21 to learn about how Elisha was called to be a prophet. How is that similar to our calling to follow Jesus?
- Who has inspired you to pursue a deeper faith? How might your life be inspiring others towards a deeper faith?
- What is a calling God has invited you to pick-up? Do you have worries about taking on that responsibility?
- What is one way you can make certain the torch of faith is passed on through your life this week?
- What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
