CVBC 1 Kings 18:20-40
In this stand-alone sermon from 1 Kings 18, we're challenged to confront our divided loyalties and fully commit to God. The showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel serves as a stark reminder of the futility of false worship and the unrivaled power of the one true God. As we reflect on Elijah's bold faith and God's dramatic response, we're compelled to ask ourselves: are we 'limping between two opinions,' or are we wholeheartedly following the Lord? This narrative beautifully foreshadows the ultimate demonstration of God's love and power on Mount Calvary, where Jesus became the final sacrifice. Let's be encouraged to trust in God's supremacy, even in seemingly impossible situations, knowing that He who sent fire from heaven is the same God who hears our prayers today.
