Bible study elijah2/17/2024 ![]() “For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.” Say the verse while using these motions to memorize this verse.ħ Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Memory Verse Review: Today’s memory verse is 1 Kings 17:16. Even when it seems like it might be impossible, God will find a way to provide for our needs. Say, God used birds like these to feed Elijah. Lastly, glue a few croutons in the bird’s mouth to symbolize the bread. (For younger students you might want to draw the bird ahead of time and make copies.) Next, glue feathers onto the bird. To complete this craft first have the children draw a bird on a piece of construction paper. Raven Craft: Remind the class that the second way that God provided for Elijah was by sending Ravens to bring him bread. God worked a miracle when He kept the Widow’s jar of oil full until it rained. Remind the class that filling the bucket up was hard work. The first team to fill their bucket wins. Repeat until each child has had a turn and the smaller bucket is filled. They will then squeeze the water out of the sponge into the smaller bucket. Give the first child in line the sponge and have them dip it into the large bucket of water and run to the smaller bucket. The 2 teams will race against each other. Refill the Bucket relay: For this game you will need 2 buckets full of water, 2 smaller buckets, and 2 large sponges. God provided for Elijah and Elijah trusted God without a doubt. For as long as they needed the oil and the flour it did not run out. But, God did something amazing for Elijah and the widow. The widow didn’t want to do this at first because she only had enough oil and flour to make one more meal and she didn’t want to waste her food. Elijah asked a widow to use all of the food that she had to make him some bread. Say, When the brook began to dry up, God found another way to provide for Elijah. Birds don’t bring people food, but Elijah trusted that God would take care of him and he did. Next God told Elijah that he would be ok because ravens were going to feed him. Elijah was a Prophet who greatly trusted the Lord. ![]() The first amazing thing that happened was that God spoke to him and warned him that there would not be any rain for a few years. Say, Many amazing things happened to Elijah during his life. The amazing things that happened to Elijah weren’t by chance, God made these things happen so that Elijah would be cared for.īiblical Evidence: Begin the lesson by reading 1 Kings 17:1-6. Today we are going to hear a story about something amazing that happened to a man named Elijah. Once a few children have been able to share say, Amazing things happen to us all the time. Maybe they got an amazing birthday present, or caught a ball at a baseball game. Introduction: Begin by asking children to think of a time when something amazing happened to them.

What is the difference between the ministries of Elisha and Elijah? Young Elisha took the mantle and carried on his work. His prophetic mantle-symbol of office-was dropped as Elijah was carried into heaven. Apparently he did not die, but was translated into the presence of God. Second Kings tells the story of Elijah going up to heaven in a whirlwind. He ministered primarily during the time of King Ahab (1 Kings 16:29–22:40). Elijah was a preaching prophet, not a writing prophet, and his message was primarily to the ten tribes of Israel. ![]() He was rugged, abrupt, and dressed in skins with a leather girdle and a long “mantle.” The mantle was the symbol of his office. He was a prophet from Gilead, considered one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament. ![]()
