Elijah vs. the 450 Prophets of Baal

The story of Elijah told in 1Kings 18 is one of my favorite Bible passages. I would have loved to have been there to see the prophets of Baal trying in vain to get a wisp of smoke near their altar, and then to see the soaking wet wood set ablaze in an instant after Elijah prayed to God asking Him to send fire. It must have been quite a scene.

I was so happy to see that even though it is a two day school week with Thanksgiving at hand, that we had seventeen in attendance this morning. We had a very good discussion with lots of people participating. If you would like to see the notes I was presenting the story from they may be seen here.

Questions for further discussion:

1. In what ways is it hard to be a Christian today?
2. Do we ever feel outnumbered by those who oppose God?
3. What is our response when we feel overwhelmed?
4. What are the positive things we can point to about how our nation and world are responding to God's message.
5. What is our hope for the future?

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
