Sermon Series: Elijah

Elijah

Elijah, one of the most significant prophets in the Old Testament, is known for his unwavering faith and boldness in confronting idolatry in Israel. His story includes miraculous events, such as calling down fire from heaven, raising the dead, and his dramatic departure to heaven in a chariot of fire. Elijah's life demonstrates the power of faith and the importance of turning back to God in times of spiritual decline.
