Elijah #1 - Beginning of the Man

Israel had endured decades of violent rulers when Ahab made Baal worship central and provoked God more than any king before him. Then Elijah stepped from an obscure town into that darkness. His name declared that the Lord was his God, and he confronted Ahab with God’s warning of no rain or dew. God often chooses surprising people for difficult times, so compromise must give way to repentance, integrity, and courage to stand firm. Bible Reference: 1 Kings 17:1 Preacher: KJ Tromp
