As we begin the second half of our Sunday School year, we will finish up our Old Testament survey just in time for Easter, then turn to the New Testament.
During March we will be learning about prophets. We will focus in on six special prophets, and next Sunday we’ll talk about the prophet with perhaps the most exciting story in the Bible—Elijah.
Prophets often were not appreciated by the rulers of Israel because they told the truth even when it wasn’t popular. But it was God’s message, and the prophets “told it like it is.” Elijah was a great example of this. He defied King Ahab and his wife Jezebel, who had brought the worshp of Ba’al to Israel and killed the prophets of the one true God. As a result, God told Elijah to announce that there would be no rain in the land of Israel until God told Elijah to say so.
The showdown finally came at the top of Mount Carmel, where Elijah challenged the prophets of Ba’al (there were 450 of them!) to a kind of duel. Next Sunday we’ll hear the exciting story of what happened, and how God showed that He was the one and only true God. You won’t want to miss it! (And, of course, bring a friend).
Tom and Sydney Cook
