In last weeks Elijah episode, we heard that God spoke to Elijah  in a whisper and kids have been asking, "Does God still speak to us today?" I will do my best to answer that question today! The kids will learn that: 1. During Elijah's time, they didn't have the entire Bible. 2. The Holy Spirit was sent after Jesus' resurrection (Acts 2:1-4) 3. We have the entire Bible, the written word of God now. 4. Now, believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside us (John 14:25-26) We will return to our normal episode format with Elijah next week so tune in!

1Kings 19:9-18 & James 4:8  On today's episode we find Elijah hiding in the cave. Instead of hearing God fuss at Elijah, we hear him as a gentle, loving father asking Elijah what he is doing there. Wind blows, the earth quakes, and fire burns; we see God's mighty power on display but even in that, he is still found in the whisper. God is close enough that Elijah can hear his whisper. I hope you are enjoying the Elijah series!

1 Kings 19:1-8 As you have followed along with our Elijah series you've probably noticed Elijah has been obeying God and doing the right things, but today he gets some scary news from Jezebel and now Elijah says he has had enough. God's response to Elijah's cry is beautiful. He doesn't downplay Elijah's feelings or scold him. Instead, he sends an angel to provide food and water. When we are hungry and tired, our emotions can run wild. Sometimes it's those simple provisions of food, water, and rest that seem simple but are exactly what we need for our strength. The kids will hear that Elijah was a real human with real feelings and fears; real needs like food and rest. When we feel like we've had enough, we can talk honestly to God just like Elijah did and God will be right there to listen and comfort us too.

1 Kings 18:40-46 & James 5:17 Today we hear Elijah tell Ahab that the drought is finally ending. Elijah knows the rain is coming but it is not until the seventh time that his servant makes the trip to the sea that there are signs of rain. Elijah faithfully waits and sends his servant to look over and over again. God was with Elijah when things happened immediately like in last week's episode, BUT He's also with him in the waiting. I point out that the Bible says that Elijah was a man like us. That gives us encouragement that we too can pray fervently as he did. We have a few more exciting Elijah episodes left so make sure to tune in!

1 Kings 18:16-39 & Exodus 20:3  This episode is full of action when Ahab and Elijah meet again. Elijah asks the people "How long will you try to serve both Baal and God?" The people have wandered from God and God is calling them back to His loving arms. Elijah has set a challenge; their Baal versus God. Tune in to see what happens. We will discuss: 1. That Elijah didn't do this to make much of himself but to make much of God. You hear that in his speech. 2. God is patient. He calls the people back to Him.
