Elijah: A Dramatic Prophet for Drastic Times, pt. 1 Today we are going to hear the first half of a sermon message titled “A Dramatic Prophet for Drastic Times,” in which Dr. White sets the scene leading up to God sending the Prophet Elijah to declare God’s words. The world was sinking into hopelessness and despair because of the idolatry and evil deeds of the kings and rulers of that age, and Dr. White will help us to grasp the lessons we can learn from their rebellion against God.
