Elijah On the Mountain

Do All You Can and Pray the Fire Falls
This week Pastor Doug continues the series, “Journeying with Elijah” focusing on a significant story from 1 Kings 18 in which Elijah confronts KING Ahab, he confronts the prophets of Baal, and he advocates for the pure worship of the Lord God, for being obedient to God’s commands. Elijah worked…
Serving a Mighty God of Abundance
