Sometimes prayer is a quick thing, but most often it is a persistent thing. In this text from the "Peaks & Valleys Sermon Series", Pastor Joey looks at the post Mt. Carmel showdown moment when Elijah hears the sound of rain in the distance and then fervently prays for the rain to come. The situation in Israel was dire due to a three and a half year drought (God's discipline due to Israel's idolatry). But now Israel has seen the truth of the power of God. Rain is promised, expected, and needed! Elijah's prayer life embodies laboring in prayer until God answers. Message preached on Sunday, February 4, 2024 at ParkerDC.
