No More Limping: Choosing the God Who Answers - DJ Dickerson - 5/17/26

In this sermon, “No More Limping: Choosing the God Who Answers,” we revisit Elijah’s powerful confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel from 1 Kings 18:1–40. As Israel faltered between devotion to God and the pull of idolatry, Elijah called the people to make a decision: “If the Lord is God, follow Him.” This lesson reminds us that divided loyalty still threatens the heart today. While we may not bow before Baal, anything that takes God’s rightful place can become an idol. Through the drought, the broken altar, the silent false prophets, and the fire from heaven, we are called to repair the altar of our hearts and choose the Lord with undivided faith. The Lord is not one option among many. He is God. And if the Lord is God, the only faithful response is to follow Him.
