Elijah and the False Prophets

Central Truth: The believer has a Greater One inside him than the evil forces that dwell in the world.

"Ye are of God, little children and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." I John 4:4

Memory Verse: "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

Scriptures: I Kings 18:17-40

This week's lesson is about Elijah and the false prophets of Baal. Under the reign of Ahab and Jezebel, the kingdom fell into idol worship. Elijah challenged the followers of Baal to see who was God: Jehovah or Baal.
