The LORD, He Is God!

In this sermon titled "The LORD, He Is God!" from 1 Kings 18:1–40, part of the series The Eternal Kingdom, Dr. Ismael Miranda leads us to Mount Carmel, where the living God reveals His unmatched glory against the empty idols of Baal. Through Elijah's bold faith and Obadiah's quiet courage, we see the call to steadfast devotion in a world hostile to holiness. This passage confronts the folly of halfhearted religion, exposing the futility of every rival to God's throne, and points us to the gospel of grace—where the fire of judgment becomes the fire of atonement through Christ, the true and greater substitute. As Israel fell on their faces crying, "The LORD, He is God," we too are called to forsake all idolatry, walk in wholehearted obedience, and live in awe of God's consuming holiness.
