In this powerful sermon from 1 Kings 18, Dr. Mark Rutland explores the dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel. Fire falls from heaven, consuming the soaked altar and proving once and for all who the true God is. But this isn’t just history—it’s a prophetic picture. The fire of God represents the Holy Spirit, who purifies, sanctifies, and calls us to holiness. Then comes the rain—a sign of God’s blessing—but only after the fire has come first. In this message, Dr. Rutland issues a clear challenge: you can’t live with one foot in each camp. It’s time to choose—God or the devil, the Kingdom or the world, but not both.
