May 18, 2024 | Daniel L. Segraves, Ph.D.
Tomorrow I am scheduled to teach the adult Bible class at The Sanctuary UPC in Hazelwood, Missouri, where Mitchell Bland is pastor. The class will begin at 10 A.M.
When I was asked to teach on this date, I didn’t realize it would be Pentecost Sunday. I’m happy to discover the focus of the assigned lesson, which is part of the God’s Word for Life curriculum. The title is Success in Succession, and the lesson explores the mentoring relationship between Elijah and Elisha.
I’m looking forward to this, because it will give me an opportunity to explore and share my relationship with various mentors in my life. This includes my grandfather, L. D. Segraves, who was born on October 11, 1887. He was the first apostolic preacher among my ancestors. His influence reaches down not only to me, but even to people in the congregation of The Sanctuary, the home church to which Susan and I belong.
I plan to post the video of the lesson here on my blog. I hope you will gain helpful insight from it as we explore the idea of being mentored and offering a ministry of mentorship to others.
