Introduction: Begin the lesson displaying the Bible Verse, Luke 18:27 “But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.” Ask the children what they think this verse means and give them adequate time to respond. The regular text is simply directions for the teacher. Note: In the teaching plan below the words in italics are meant to be read aloud. Children will learn that they cannot save people, only God can.Children will learn that we need to carefully plan our time so that God can use us.
Children will learn to be confident in the Lord’s ability to great things.Likewise, we need to be prepared and ready for God to use us to accomplish His purposes. Elijah understood the importance of preparing for God to work in wonderful ways and planned everything that he needed to do carefully. However, Elijah did not just expect God to work a miracle whenever Elijah called on Him. The prophets of Baal try desperately to call on their blasphemous God, but he does not answer them. Life Connection: In this passage Elijah challenges Ahab to a contest to see whose God can send fire to light an altar.
