0:28.0	Tiffany here and today we study a rather well-known prophet, Elijah.
0:34.0	But while the story of his life might be somewhat familiar, there is still much for us to learn today.

2:06.0	It was into this reign of pagan worship that God raised up Elijah as his prophet.

2:16.0	Elijah stood before King Ahab declaring with his very name that Yahweh is the one true God, and he proceeded to prove it as he announced there would be three years of no reign.
