We have always been fascinated with epic battles and showdowns. We usually mark such places with historical markers. For example, the Battle of Little Big Horn, Gettysburg, etc. In that same vein on the southeastern peak of Mount Carmel, there is a dramatic stone statue of the prophet Elijah with his sword raised to heaven as he slaughters a priest of Baal. The site is now known as Muhraka which means “the place of burning”. In this sermon, we take a close look at this epic showdown.
