When Elijah was sent to declare the word of the Lord that rain was coming, he was met with an interesting label…he was called a troublemaker. But wait, Elijah was coming with good news! How is that label fair? So it is also with The Church of today. All we are doing is trying to spread the good news and yet Christians are deemed with the troublemaker label. This sermon reminds us that as long as we follow God’s command, we will be viewed as troublemakers and that’s okay!
Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 18:16-19, 22-24 (TLV)
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him; then, Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17 Now when Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is it you, the one who causes trouble for Israel?”
18 But he answered, “I have not troubled Israel. Rather, it is you and your father’s house—by forsaking the mitzvot of Adonai and going after the Baalim. 19 Now then, send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I am the only prophet of Adonai left, but Baal’s prophets are 450 men. 23 Now let them give us two young bulls. Let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it into pieces, lay it on the wood, and put no fire underneath, while I prepare the other bull, lay it on the wood, and put no fire underneath. 24 Then you will call on the name of your god, and then, I will call on the Name of Adonai. The God who answers with fire, He is God.”
