Without a doubt, the biggest threat to ancient Israel’s worship of Yahweh was the rival demon-god Baal, regarded as the chief of all Canaanite deities. The allure of Baal worship was the promise of profit and prosperity. I’ve chosen four words that tell the story of the showdown between the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and frame our role in modern culture.

I. Courage (vv. 16-17)

II. Contest (vv. 20-40)

III. Confrontation (v. 21)

IV. Cause (v. 36)

Talk with God: Meditate on Matthew 6:24 and ask the Lord to reveal the areas of your life in which you’re trying to “serve two masters.”

Talk with others: Encourage a fellow believer to keep their eyes on Jesus, no matter what they’re walking through this week.

Talk with kids: Why was it wrong for Saul to make the burnt offering?
