Meeting on the Mountain (2 of 4)

I Kings 18:1-40
OPEN: An evangelist in South Africa had a van with this sign on the side that said this:
"Where will you spend eternity?
Most people don't decide till the 11th hour.
Our service begins at 10:30."
That evangelist's van was telling people that there was a "decision" to be made.
It asked: Where you gonna go when you die?
Will you spend your eternity in heaven or in hell?

But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:14-15
Isaiah declared: "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? LISTEN, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Isai ...
