Bible Story:
1 Kings 18:1-40At times, we are all tempted to place our hope in things that are hopeless. Elijah dealt with the worship of false idols. He was given power by God to prove to the people that Baal was a false god and that the idols the people worshiped were not real. He trusted God and followed Him obediently, calling down fire from heaven to burn up the false gods. God is the one true God, yet our sin causes us to believe in false saviors.
Story:
