1 Kings 18:19-46 (CSB)


“There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan.” —C.S. Lewis


When the world turns its back on God, stand firm, even when you stand alone


You’re always in the majority with God


Elijah had an unshakable faith in God


Gods of our own making never show up when we need them


Baal — Canaanite storm and fertility god, often associated with rain, agriculture, and war


Elijah had fearless conviction in the face of opposition


Ahab disregarded the presence of God, Elijah prioritized it.


Our motives matter


Elijah had zeal for God’s glory 


When God moves, there’s no mistaking it


Elijah was humbly dependent on prayer


God’s power quenches the thirst of the dry place


Elijah was effective through obedience


Prepare the altar


Pray prayers that require faith


Wait for the fire
