Show Notes

In today's broadcast, Pastor Colin explores the powerful story of Elijah on Mount Carmel, where the prophets of Baal find their cries met with silence, while the true God responds with might. This biblical account challenges us to reflect deeply on the focus of our lives. Are we placing our hopes in things that, ultimately, cannot fulfil our deepest needs?

Philip Ryken aptly notes that success, pleasure, and personal beauty, though often idolised, remain incapable of answering our prayers. They are silent when we need them most. Yet, there is one who hears and saves—God Himself, the one who corresponds to the name we call upon.

Join us as we probe into 1 Kings 18:20-40, drawing a "Line in the Sand," and discover why it's essential to anchor your life in someone who can genuinely respond to your call for help.
