Big problems call for big solutions.

God’s people have had a big fall since the heights of David and Solomon, and now they need a big solution.

In 1 Kings chapter 17, we meet that solution… a man called ‘Elijah’.

His name means, ‘My God is Yahweh’, and that’s also his message to the messy world of God’s kingdom.

In verse one, Elijah speaks to bad king Ahab and tells him that, “there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!”

A punishing drought has begun from the hand of the true and living God.
