To teach the children that there is only one true God that we must worship.

1 Kings 18: 21-42

Today we worship many things and make them into idols. We put other things in the place of God. We see children’s modern day idols as being rock stars, movie and T.V. stars. We also worship money and possessions and of course ourselves. It is a constant challenge to everyone to think of the things we worship in everyday life. The challenge for us all is to put God first. We are better at putting ourselves first or something we think is going to make us happy. Many people in today’s society idolize statues, possessions, people and money and they dance and pray to it in many different ways. We rely very much on the visual and like to be able to see and touch the things we worship. Christians have done that through the years through religious symbols that never match the totality of our matchless God. There is only one true God, everything else we worship will let us down, just like Baal did. Elijah not only challenged the prophets that they were idolizing the wrong Gods, but he also proved that the True God deserves our respect.
