Episode Description

"How long will you waiver between two opinions?
If the Lord id God, follow him
But if Baal is god, follow him.
...but the people said nothing."

Today we look at a Bible story that is one of my favorites from the Old Testament.
Sure David and Goliath is good and Jonah is incredible, but this story tells us something about how to live amongst a culture that doesn't respect or honor God. More than that, the culture surrounding Elijah was hostile and full of persecution.
More subtly though, as we will see, this culture had let time wear down the very things that kept them focused on God.

I believe we can learn a lot from this story, if we have ears to hear.

I'm Matt Odegaard, Welcome to Church Public.

XCEL Fellowship Church Podcast's Podcast XCEL Fellowship Church Podcast XCEL Fellowship Church is simply the place to hear about all things XCEL. This is where we add sermons, our radio show and everything else that we feel led to release to the public. It's here! The Vicars' Crossing The Vicars' Crossing We are two regular guys who happen to be priests in the Anglican Church, We love what we do! We also love to chat about our faith. The Vicars Crossing will explore the places where faith intersects with the Public Square. The Evidence of Things Not Seen Fr Mark Schultz I’m Father Mark, Curate for Children, Youth and Family Ministries at Saint Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church in Tucson, Arizona. This is a podcast where I intend to share things inspiring, beautiful, wonderful, challenging—it’s produced with the people of Saint Philip’s in mind, particularly in this time when in-person public worship and formation has been suspended in the Diocese of Arizona. Hence the title: The Evidence of Things not Seen which comes from Hebrews 11:1—“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Laurie's Chinwags Illinois Family Institute Laurie’s Chinwags are podcasts of her articles and are part of our new effort to provide IFI subscribers with another way to access information and ideas. We will be making these podcasts available for her new articles as well as select articles from the past on topics of pressing importance. The primary focus of these podcasts is sexuality, particularly how leftist views of sexuality harm the public good.Laurie examines the flaws in the specious secular arguments used to normalize homosexuality and “gender” confusion and which confuse, deceive, and even persuade Americans. She looks at how these flawed arguments harm individuals, families, marriage, and education. We call these discussions “chinwags” in the hope that listeners will figuratively chat with Laurie as they listen and later will literally chat with neighbors, co-workers, lawmakers, church leaders, friends, and family members on these topics.
