Elijah | No More Wavering (week 3)

June 15, 2025

What happens when faith wavers and devotion splits? In this message, we join Elijah on Mount Carmel in one of the most dramatic moments in all of Scripture. As the prophets of Baal chant and cut and cry out—with no response—Elijah rebuilds the altar and offers a simple prayer. And God answers with fire.

We unpack the dangers of half-hearted faith, explore the socially acceptable idols we’re tempted to worship, and discover how obedience and surrender prepare the way for God's power to be revealed.

✔️ Topics in this message:
– Half-hearted vs wholehearted faith
– The idols of comfort, control, image, and money
– Rebuilding the altar of your life
– How Jesus fulfilled the ultimate showdown at the cross

📖 Key Texts:
1 Kings 18:16–40, Matthew 6:7–8, Revelation 3:16, Mark 10

💬 Key Takeaway:
“When you know the One True God, you don’t want the knock-offs.”

Join us as we continue our series Elijah: A Man Just Like Us and get honest about the altars we’ve let fall apart—and the God who’s ready to answer by fire.
