Distraction of the Chariot
2 Kings 2:9-12
Discipleship
Two teachers in your life, mistakes or mentors. Mistakes are painful and expensive
Learning from mistakes is for people who refuse God’s plan of learning from mentors
Mentor is not a cheerleader but coach
Great things come from God but through people
You don’t have to meet your mentors for them to impact your life
Distractions
Fullness of his future depended on his focus on that which was the most important
Keep the main thing the main thing. Major on majors, minor on minors
Chariots are loud but empty
Say no to good things so that you can say yes to God things
Peter sank because he took his eyes of the main thing but fixed it on a chariot (listen to God or you)
Family – work is a chariot
Marriage – kids are chariot, business
Health – health of pleasure
Money – chariots of sales; body not clothes;
Spiritual – heart not actions; relationship not religion; inward not outward
Church – people ministered to, not crowds; Jesus could be found in the House
