Wednesday Night Family Info
I hope you're doing well! Soon, we’ll be kicking off a new three-week series called “Portraits of Faith” in which we’ll look at the life of Elijah
Series Overview
We want to be deeply engaged with Scripture, so every teaching point will be made by walking through the passages in full, studying every verse and pulling out the meaning of the text. Since Elijah is a narrative text, we want to make sure that we are keeping in mind Elijah’s story in the greater context of Israel’s history. Lastly, we want every lesson to point to the saving work of Jesus Christ: the good news of the gospel that Jesus came to save sinners.
Session 1: Waiting and Trusting
In this lesson, the students will be introduced to Elijah the prophet and King Ahab of Israel. Through this lesson, the students will contrast the characters of Ahab and Elijah to see what a person of faith actually looks like. We want our students to understand that faith is often about waiting and trusting in the Lord.
Session 2: God Sees and Cares
In this lesson, the students will see how God cares for his people, and how being seen by our creator God of the universe makes all the difference in the world when it comes to growing our faith.
Session 3: Strength to Do Hard Things
In this lesson, the students will see how Elijah’s and Obadiah’s faiths enabled them to do the right thing for the kingdom of God. Each of these men exhibited power faith in different ways, with Elijah setting up a confrontation between YWHW God and the Baals where all of Israel must decide who they will follow.
Our hope is that the discussion questions provided above might lead your family to a deeper awareness of who God is and what He might be calling you to do as a family and as individuals. As always, please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
Thanks for letting us be a part of investing in your students and family, if you have any questions or concerns, please email Pastor Zachl!
In His Grace,
Zach Boyer
