Elijah: Courage Under Fire And today we begin listening to a new sermon message, the fourth in this series, this one about one of Elijah’s helpers named Obadiah, who was a servant of King Ahab and also a courageous protector of Prophets. The message is appropriately titled “Courage Under Fire.” And it provides for us a positive example, an inspiration, for blessing the activity of God in our work.
