Elijah | Elijah the Tishbite - Season 5, Episode 97
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Jesse Becker
Why does moral decline rarely happen overnight, and what does God do when a culture has fully surrendered to the dark? Opening a new series on Elijah, Pastor Dorrell traces Israel's slow institutional drift from David through Ahab and Jezebel, showing how compromise, left uncorrected, becomes normalized and then institutionalized. Into that darkness, 1 Kings 17 introduces Elijah without pedigree or preamble, a rugged outsider from Gilead whose confrontation with Baal worship rests entirely on his standing before God rather than the approval of kings or culture. Listeners are challenged to ask what changes in any room, family, or church because they are present, and to choose the character and courage to be that difference.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
