Sermon Summary: This sermon explores the life of Elijah, emphasizing that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. The speaker challenges the congregation to recognize that they have the same access to God as biblical heroes did, and encourages them to deepen their prayer life and fully consecrate themselves to God. The message emphasizes that it's not human perfection but God's power that enables great works, and calls listeners to stop wavering between worldly and godly pursuits.
