<p>**Warning for this episode: self-harm**</p><p>I hope you enjoy the FULL episode of the story of the prophet Elijah. Israel was in a dark time. The king, Ahab, had married a foreign princess named Jezebel, and together they led the nation away from the Lord. The people began worshiping Baal—a false god. </p><p>Enter Elijah. God provides food for him during a famine, heraises a dead child to life, takes part in a showdown with the worshipers of Baal on Mount Carmel, and confronts king Ahab. Even with all these triumphs, he also has a moment of weakness and doubt—something we can all relate to. But hisstory reminds us that even when an entire nation turns away, God is able to work through <em>one</em> faithful person to call people back to the truth.</p><p><br></p><p>We are reading 1 Kings 17, 18, 19 and 21, and 2 Kings 1 and2.</p><p> </p><p>Thank you to Anthony, Samantha, Robin, Kelli, Bridget, Michael, Renee, DeAnne, Sharmaine, Blankets of Love 912, Lydia, April, Amy F., Bradley, Hannah, Michelle, Austin, and John for your support!
