An Eye-Opening Experience
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. explores Elisha and his frightened servant in 2 Kings 6. He announces verses 15–18 and reads through verse 17, where God opens the servant’s eyes to the horses and chariots of fire already surrounding them.

The sermon calls listeners to resist fear, recognize God’s presence and grow beyond needing repeated visible proof. God’s help may change the situation or sustain a person through it. Bishop Hill argues that the deeper lesson is learning to trust God’s word even when the protecting presence cannot be seen.

From Luke 23:26, we saw how Jesus—our ultimate caregiver—was cared for in a moment of intense human need when Simon of Cyrene was seized and made to carry the cross behind Him. This moment invites us to take seriously the humanity of Jesus and the reality that even those who pour out for others can become weak, burdened, and in need of support. We were challenged to learn how to care well for the people who care for us by being cognizant of their needs, compelled to act, and willing to build t…
