There are many places in the Bible that tell about God hearing prayer and answering in really miraculous ways. We will look at one of the most exciting events this Sunday, as the prophet Elijah takes on 450 prophets of Ba’al and King Ahab at the summit of Mount Carmel. Elijah challenges the Ba’al prophets to see whose god can answer by burning the offering on the altar. The scene is pretty dramatic after the Ba’al prophets have prayed, danced, and begged all day with no response, while Elijah simply asks God to show His power and gets immediate action.
God does not always immediately answer all our prayers, and it’s really a good thing that He doesn’t — since sometimes we really don’t know what we’re asking. God can see what will happen in the future, and really does know what is best for us. And, too, sometimes we forget that a perfectly valid answer to some prayers is “no” or “wait.”
We will make a special treat for our fathers in class for Father’s Day, and we will put on a skit with a western theme to help tell the story of Elijah and the “Showdown on Mount Carmel.” This would be a great day to join us and bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
