Elijah Prayed // Pastor David Engelhardt

In this sermon, Pastor David highlights Elijah’s example of powerful prayer as described in James 5:17-18, where his earnest prayers led to a drought and later rain, demonstrating the profound impact of faith and persistent prayer. He contrasts Christian beliefs in a divine creator, moral absolutes, and salvation through Jesus with materialist views that deny the spiritual realm and morality. Pastor David encourages spiritual growth and evangelism, urging believers to trust in God’s responses to prayer and remain steadfast even when initial signs are small. By reflecting on Elijah’s faith and actions, he emphasizes that persistent, faith-driven prayer can yield miraculous results, reinforcing the idea that the prayers of the righteous are both powerful and effective.
