The Design for Discipleship
Adrian Rogers
1 Kings 19:19
We begin tonight a brand new series on the miracles of Elisha. Elisha is one of the lesser known prophets in the bible but certainly but one of less importance. And there is a great, great benefit and blessing for us in studying the life and ministry of the man called Elisha because he is the prophet of abundant life.

I mean, everyday, every way in all things we are to be having victory in and through Lord Jesus Christ. And how tragic it is, I say, how tragic it is that so many who are the members of this church and so many Christians around the world are not living the abundant life because it is a negation of the life and purpose and work of Jesus who came that we might have life and have it abundantly.

And so, tonight our title for our message is THE DESIGN FOR DISCIPLESHIP, DESIGN FOR DISCIPLESHIP. First Kings chapter nineteen and I begin reading in verse nineteen.
