Passages:
-------------------
In this message we look at the downfall King Ahab and Jezebel, whose idolatry and promotion of Baal worship provoked God's judgment through a devastating drought. The prophet Elijah boldly confronted their wickedness, challenging the people of Israel on Mount Carmel to choose between serving the Lord or Baal. Through a miraculous display of fire from heaven, God demonstrated His power and called the nation to repentance. Despite Israel's rebellion, the message emphasizes God's mercy and patience, always seeking to restore His people and turn their hearts back to Him.
