Series: On the Road with Elijah
Ken Trivette
1 Kings 18:17-40
Outline

b) The Silence of the People

b) The Arrival of Fire
3. A Step of Cleansing
a) A Commanded Purging
b) A Complete Purging
1. In our last study we began our journey with Elijah to Carmel. In this study we arrive at Carmel and visit with Elijah in one of the most thrilling scenes in the Word of God.
