Fire and Rain | Thom Jee - 17 May | Six - 1 Kings 18:16-46 by Holy Trinity Claygate
Why do some prayers seem to go unanswered while others bring powerful results? Looking at Elijah's example on Mount Carmel, Pastor Jeff Schreve shows how God responds to prayers that are earnest, unrelenting, and rooted in faith. Learn why persistence matters in prayer and how God uses it to strengthen your faith and deepen your relationship with Him.
Elijah wasn't a superhero—he was an ordinary man who learned how to pray in extraordinary ways. In this message, Pastor Jeff Schreve looks at the life of Elijah, uncovering the biblical principles that unlock effective prayer. Discover how aligning your life with God's Word can transform your prayer life and unleash God's power.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah stood alone against hundreds of false prophets in a dramatic showdown that would reveal the true God of Israel. As Baal's prophets cried out in vain, Elijah prayed a simple prayer—and the fire of God fell from heaven. In this powerful message from 1 Kings 18, discover how obedience, courage, and faith invite God's power and why every person must ultimately decide who they will follow.
When God wills, there is a way!
In this sermon, we see Elijah praying for it to rain in the aftermath of the contest on Mount Carmel. We see how Elijah holds to God's promises in prayer - and how he perseveres in prayer and has faith to believe that God can do it. In the same way, our prayer life needs to be marked by being focused on God's word and his promises - and we need to persevere in the same way Elijah does. First preached: 10th May 2026. Speaker: James McNay.
1 Kings 18:21-35
1 Kings 18:7-20
Long before football championships and Super Bowl parties, there was a far greater showdown—one that would determine the true God of Israel. In this powerful message from 1 Kings 18, Elijah challenges the nation to stop wavering between two opinions and choose who they will follow. As the prophets of Baal face off against the prophet of the Lord, this dramatic story calls us to bold faith, clear conviction, and a decision that cannot be avoided.

It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.The Village Churchvillagersonline@gmail.comMore information at www.villagersonline.com

Sunday Bible Study – March 29, 2026Grace Lutheran Church – Little Rock, ArkansasElijah stands alone on Mount Carmel, confronting a nation divided between the Lord and Baal. While hundreds cry out, cut themselves, and plead for a response, Scripture repeats the verdict: no voice, no answer, no attention.This study traces the contrast between false worship and the living God—who answers not for spectacle, but to turn hearts back to Himself. From the fire on the altar to the still small voice, Elijah's story exposes both the emptiness of idols and the danger of a divided heart.It also confronts a deeper question: why do people persist in unbelief even after clear signs? From Ahab's hardness to Jezebel's rage, and even Elijah's despair, the lesson is clear—God's Word does not depend on visible results, but on His faithfulness.Key Themes:The silence of idols vs. the living voice of God“How long will you go limping between two opinions?”The danger of hardening the heart against truthFaithfulness in speaking God's Word without controlling outcomesGod's hidden preservation of His people (the 7,000 who have not bowed)Scripture:1 Kings 18–19; Psalm 141Tags:#BibleStudy #Elijah #1Kings18 #FalseGods #Repentance #Faithfulness #GraceLutheranLittleRock #LittleRockChurch #ArkansasFaith #ChristianTeaching
A key question we all have to answer is "Who is our authority?" The "gods" of our day or the Lord of the Bible? These questions have been asked for millennia and today we'll read a powerful account of how the Lord answers this question through His prophet Elijah. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Three years have transpired between 1 Kings 17 and 1 Kings 18. What has been happening since 1st Kings 17? How should this have affected the spiritual climate in Israel during this time? 2. What does verse 3 say about Obadiah's fear of the Lord? What kind of spiritual effort would it have required to follow the Lord in the midst of King Ahab's reign? Do you know anyone in today's day and age who follows the Lord faithfully in a hostile situation? What keeps them going? 3. In verse 17, how was Ahab's greeting of Elijah as the "Troubler of Israel" a tacit admission that Elijah was having an impact on Ahab and the nation? How should he have responded to Elijah's rebukes over the past couple of chapters? How did he respond instead? 4. In verse 18, where does Elijah lay the blame for Israel's difficulties? What truths do these words contain about what has happened to the spiritual life of Ahab and the people? 5. What was Elijah's suggestion in verse 19? What was Mount Carmel? According to the podcast, why was Elijah's suggestion to have this "duel" at Mount Carmel a demonstration of his spiritual courage? Where do you think this courage came from? Do you have this kind of courage? Why or why not? 6. According to verse 22, what were Elijah's odds? Why was he still in the "majority" (spiritually speaking), even with these numbers? 7. What did Elijah have the prophets of Baal do in verses 23-26? What was Baal's "response" to his prophet's cries of distress? What did they try to do in verses 28-29? What does all of this tell us about Baal's true nature? 8. What did Elijah say to the Baal prophets in verse 27? Why could he be so confident, while so outnumbered? 9. What did Elijah do in verses 30-35? Why? 10. What did Elijah pray in verses 36 & 37? What does this prayer show that Elijah was trusting in? 11. How did the Lord answer his prayer in verse 38? 12. How did the people respond in verses 39 & 40? The podcast gave some reasons why, in their day, this wasn't a severe reaction. What were some of those reasons? 13. What was the Lord's final demonstration of His power in verses 41-45? What should this have caused Ahab to do? Does Ahab respond this way? Why or why not?
