This week in our Fire From Heaven series, we explore Elijah’s dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel and the question that still confronts us today: what is truly real, and what only appears to be? As Elijah rebuilds God’s altar, drenches the sacrifice, and prays a simple prayer—“God, make yourself known”—God answers with fire from heaven, exposing the emptiness of false gods and revealing Himself as the one true God. Ultimately, this message points beyond Mount Carmel to the cross, where Jesus became the sacrifice for us, absorbing the fire of judgment so that we could be purified, restored, and brought into the presence of God.
