    Elijah comes as God's representative to call his people back to God. He is a type of Christ

    Elijah was a major prophet, but he was also just a man. God was able to do some amazing things through him.

    We are starting a brand new series today called The fabulous life of Elijah. If you have your bibles, you can open them to the book of Hebrews chapter 11 which is on p. 865 if you grabbed a bible in the lobby. Elijah is a prophet, was a prophet.
