First Kings 13 - Introduction to the Life Of Elijah

In the Old Testament, we see that the people of God were historically seeking a king. Elijah was a prophet for King Ahab at a time when the king's wife, Jezebel, convinced the king to worship Baal, a Canaanite god . They were often persuaded to worship various gods by different kings. Elijah reminds them that the God of Israel was always their only God and that He was in charge. How does this relate to us? God looks for special people in difficult times. We are living in dark times and are cursed with sin. It is time to turn back to the God of Israel. As Christ followers, we can be advocates for returning to God's fold and trusting in why He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, as our redeemer when we fall away.
