1 Kings 12–13; 17–22

Overview

During a famine, the prophet Elijah asked a widow in Zarephath to give him the last of her food. The widow acted in faith, and the Lord blessed her that her oil and meal would not fail. Elijah challenged the priests of Baal to a contest to prove that the God of Israel was the only true God. The Lord sent fire from heaven to answer Elijah’s prayers and prevail in the contest.

Prepare to Teach

The following information provides you with ideas of what you may need to prepare in advance for each lesson.

1 Kings 17

Lesson purpose: To help students act with greater faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by following the words of prophets.

Student preparation: Invite students to identify something the Lord has invited us to do through His prophet and a promise He has given if we do it. Invite students to come to class ready to share.
Content to display: The matching activity that begins the lesson
Videos: “Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath,” (10:12) from time code 4:09 to 10:06); “That Night My Family Had Sufficient” (1:47) or “Fathers and Sons” (5:42)

1 Kings 18

Lesson purpose: To help students feel a greater desire to follow the Lord.

Student preparation: Invite students to think of one or more times in their lives when they knew Heavenly Father or Jesus Christ was real, or when they felt Their power in their life. Or they could think of what they could do to find out whether Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are real and if they should completely follow Them.
Items to prepare: Using tape or some other resource, make two lines on the floor, like arrows headed in opposite directions; a piece of paper for each student.
Videos: “Elijah and the Priests of Baal” (2:16); “His Grace: Choosing to Believe in God” (4:07) or “Faith Crisis: What Do We Do When We Feel Nothing?” (5:55)
