After three years of drought in the land, the prophet Elijah returns to confront King Ahab and the prophets of Baal with a challenge.

Even as Israel continues to decline, we shift our focus to a story of God's provision in a time of trial as Elijah, after having confronted King Ahaz, rather than fleeing far away, goes deeper into Baal territory to spend the time of the drought he predicted with a desperate widow who is preparing her last meal.

Pastor Mike Dahl continues our series through 1 Kings, and those kings continue to decline to even lower lows.

The tragic decline of the kings, and of the nation, continues as we consider the legacy that will be left by Kings Jeroboam and Rehoboam. Because the kings won't turn from their evil ways, things are about to be so bad in Israel that the early death of a child is considered a mercy.

Chapter 13 of 1 Kings brings us the account of a prophet who boldly confronts the king, then an "old prophet"...and then, a lion.
