Everything seems to have gone wrong. The world is in a mess, God's people are divided and unfaithful, and his prophets are being murdered. A new king is on the scene and "he did more to provoke the LORD to anger than all who were before him". How will the faithful God respond? Will people come back to him? Will his prophet, Elijah, keep trusting that God will be faithful?

Join Dave on this first of 2 episodes looking at the amazing story of when God kindly sent a drought to help his people escape a terrible lie. We will do a deep dive into 1 Kings 16:29-17:24 covering from when Ahab becomes king of Israel to Elijah's stay with a foreign widow.
