Restoring God's Glory & God's People

Continuing the series on false prophets from 2 Peter 2, this message from 1 Kings 18 highlights God’s pattern of raising up faithful witnesses like Elijah to call His people back from syncretism and idolatry. Elijah’s restoration of the torn-down altar and the dramatic display of God’s power on Mount Carmel exposed the emptiness of false worship and moved the people to repentance, after which God graciously sent rain to restore the land. Believers, we must examine our own lives for areas of compromise, forsake modern forms of idolatry, and pray expectantly for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts so that we exalt Christ alone.
