FAMILY THEME: STANDING FOR TRUTH

1 Kings 18:19-46

There's not a better Scriptural example of someone so brave,

with such tremendous faith, capable of standing alone against

the majority than the prophet Elijah.

1.  We Will Often Be in the Minority When Standing for the Truth

     (1 Kings 18:19-24)

     Though he felt outnumbered, Elijah boldly challenged

     the false prophets.

 
2.  God Honors Our Bold Stance for the Truth

     (1 Kings 18:25-40)

     The frantic pleading of the hundreds of false prophets

     could not compare to Elijah's direct petition for God's 

     power. God came through, leaving no doubts about 

     who was the false god and Who was the true God.

 
3.  God Hears His People When They Pray

     (1 Kings 18:41-46)

     Elijah is an example for us in praying because of his

     sincerity and his confidence in God.
