As we navigate the treacherous waters of human desire and divine justice, we're confronted with the haunting narrative of King Ahab and Naboth's vineyard. Journey with me, Pastor Brandon, through the twisted corridors of covetousness, where the royal tantrums of a king and his queen's malicious machinations lead to the downfall of an innocent man. In the wake of Naboth's unjust death, we grapple with the heavy hand of God's judgment and the redemptive potential that repentance holds. While the darkness of Ahab's soul is on full display, the episode refuses to abandon hope, shining a light on the merciful character of God and the profound lessons buried within His response to our human failings.

The mantle then shifts to the pivotal moment of choice that defines our spiritual direction, inspired by Elijah's encounter with the prophets of Baal. We're invited to cast off the shackles of indecision, to stand firm in our pursuit of the divine. This session is a heartfelt call to anchor ourselves in the steadfastness of God's love; to choose a life committed to His path over the wandering aimlessness of a faith unclaimed. I, Pastor Brandon, extend a hand to those wrestling with their spiritual choices, offering assurance that no matter the past, the grace of God is an ever-present promise, steadfast in the face of our transgressions and powerful enough to steer us towards a transformative and dedicated life in His embrace.

Key Verse (1 Kings 18:21) Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!”

Let’s read it together.
