Scripture: I Kings 18:1-40

Message Summary: A six-year-old boy gets unexpectedly recruited to help seat guests at a wedding. After a quick explanation of what he’s to do, he confidently responds, “Oh yeah, I got this, Pop. That’s easy.” When the first guests arrive, this boy offered his arm and said, “Now, Ma’am, whose side are you on?” That simple question—"Whose side are you on?"—cuts straight to the heart of the spiritual battle you face every day. It’s not between the bride and groom but between the true God and countless false gods demanding your allegiance. We’re studying Elijah—known as one of the greatest prophets in history. But he was also a human just like you, and that means you can live the same God life that he did. He faced profound opposition. In today's culture, choosing God's side often makes you public enemy number one. Stand on biblical truth and you'll be labeled bigoted, ignorant, and intolerant. Your choice is clear: Go along to get along, or stand alone and face rejection. One of these choices helps you live the good life; the other leads you to the God life, where you not only witness His power but become a vessel through which it flows.
