Watch the video below with your children.
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
What made Ahab and Jezebel evil in the eyes of God? What did the big showdown between Elijah and the 850 prophets prove? What does it mean for us to only worship the one true God?
TakeawayThere is only one true God, the Lord, and we should worship him alone.
Why can't God just ignore it when people do evil? How did God respond to the evil things that Ahab, Jezebel, and the false prophets did? How does God respond to our sin? Why did Jesus have to die on the cross?
TakeawayGod is holy and he judges evil.
How did God show his holiness and love in Elijah's day? How did he show his holiness and love through Jesus?
TakeawayIn Jesus, God shows both his holiness and his love.
As your family reflects on the truths you learned in this week’s lesson, pray together.
Here are some questions to get you started...
- What did I learn about God that I can praise Him for?
- What sins and weaknesses can I confess to God?
- What promises can I thank God for?
