KEY VERSES:
When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord indeed is God; the Lord indeed is God.” I Kings 18:39

FAITH STORY:
I Kings 18:20-40

FAITH FOCUS:
The people of Israel were disobeying God by worshiping Baal, so God sent the prophet Elijah to tell King Ahab that there would be a famine in the land. In the third year of the drought, God told Elijah to go to Ahab and tell him and all of the people to meet him on Mt. Carmel. There they had a test to see whose god was the most powerful by building an altar and asking their God to set it on fire. After Baal’s prophets danced and cried out for Baal to set fire to their alter, Elijah built an altar of twelve stones and poured twelve jars of water on it and asked God to set the altar on fire. God answered Elijah and showed the people who the most powerful God is. The people then saw that “The Lord indeed is God” and God further showed his power by sending rain on the land and ending the drought.
