Showdown at the O.K. Carmel, Part 1
1 Kings 18:19-29
May 17, 2020

Introduction:

I.    Stop riding the fence. 1 Kings 18:21.




II.    Elijah presents his challenge. 1 Kings 18:22-25.




III.   Baal fails! 1 Kings 18:26-29.

Questions for reflection:

•      Why do you think Baal worship was so powerfully seductive to 
       the Israelites? Are there parallels for us and our idols today?
  
  
•      Do you think there are ways that Christians today are overly active,
       (like the priests of Baal), thinking they have to always be busy to get
       God's attention?
  
  
•      What do you think the author  is wanting us to learn from this?
