When God calls us, do we run to Him or drag our feet? Oftentimes, we are afraid to burn our ships. We’re afraid to get rid of our safety net in case this “Christian Thing” doesn’t work out. Or maybe our ships are our sins that are holding us back. Or maybe it’s painful memories from our past that we can’t seem to let go of in order to make it to the next level. Join Rev. Kenny Yates as he teaches us the importance of burning our ships in his fiery message entitled Burn The Ships.

Burn The Ships
When Elijah called Elisha, Elisha got rid of all backup plans. He burned all of his ships.
19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him. 20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” 21 And he returned from following him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and assisted him.
