Week 6 - Elijah Pt. 2

It's Decision Time

August 25, 2024 • David Gaylor • 1 Kings 18

Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal is a testament to his unwavering faith and courage. In a time of national apostasy and drought, Elijah stood alone to challenge 850 prophets to a test of divine power. His rebuilt altar, drenched in water, was set ablaze by God's fire from heaven, proving God's sovereignty and leading the people to acknowledge Him as the true God. This story encourages us to stand firm in our faith and lead others to a decisive moment of choosing God.

In times of personal pain and injustice, it's natural to question God's plans.
