LESSON:  GOD PROVIDES FOOD FOR ELIJAH 

On Sunday we moved on to a time-period after King Solomon's reign, when the Kingdom of Isreal was divided into two:  the Northern and Southern kingdoms (Isreal and Judah).  We began the class discussing "What is a Prophet?", the books of the bible written by some of the prophets and one of the most significant prophets of the Old Testament:  Elijah.  We learned about one of the worst kings yet, King Ahab (whose people largely worshiped Baal and Asherah), and how the prophet Elijah prayed to God to call the Isrealites into repentance.  God responded by sending a drought to the land for 3 years -- during which time, God provided food and life for Elijah, the widow who took him in, and her son -- just as He provides food, forgiveness, and life eternal for us in Christ. 

Stay tuned for more about Elijah in the coming 2 weeks!!  We may even have an example of the sacrificial alter where God visibly showed the people of Isreal and those worshiping Baal, that He is the one and only true God! 

This week, consider asking the children, “How did God provide food for Elijah? In what ways does God provide for us today?”  We also discussed how important it is to be good stewards ofeverything he provides, including our pets! 

REMINDERS:

  • MONDAYS at 5:30 is our weekly Family Potluck Supper & Parent Bible Study:  Lutheranism 101  led by Vicar James.  A relaxing evening refreshing ourselves with the basics of Lutheranism while the kids play, watch a movie & have hot chocolate!
