May 21: Elijah
Read through the story of Elijah. Some life lessons we can learn from Elijah:
-God can do incredible things!
-We need to rely on God in all circumstances, because He will always provide for us (However sometimes it is different than we expect)
-Sometimes we are quick to forget what God has done
-Godly people can also struggle with mental illness

-We cannot live life alone. Elijah thought that he was the only one following God…we learn in 1 Kings 19:18 that there were still thousands of people who had not followed the false gods.
-Do not be shy about your faith. Where were these thousands of people hiding? Why didn’t they support Elijah?

Nov 13: The New Testament part 2
Jesus told everyone that he was God’s Son, and that he came to forgive people’s sins. This made some religious people so angry that they had him killed on a cross. But three days later Jesus came back to life, proving that he was God’s Son. After that, Jesus met with his followers, commonly called disciples or apostles. He told them to keep spreading his message to everyone so that they can have a relationship with God.

That is what the rest of the New Testament is all about! However, after Jesus went to heaven, things were difficult for the first followers of Jesus. What do you think some of their problems were? (persecution, wrong teachings/beliefs)

This was in the first century after Jesus, imagine living almost 2000 years ago in the years 40-70. There was no electricity, no phones, no mail.
So some of the disciples traveled around to different places, teaching people about Jesus. Then they would write letters to the other Christians. Most of the New Testament was originally letters, either written to one person, or to a church.
These letters were full of encouragement to the people living in hard times, teaching to keep them on the right track and sometimes correction or discipline, showing the people what they were doing wrong. Even though these letters were written a long time ago, the words still apply to us today and God can use them to shape our lives, just like he did for people thousands of years ago! Let’s look at example:
James 3:9-12
What does this mean?

Ephesians 4:29: Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

That is one example of words written 1000’s of years ago that are just as important and true for us today as they were then. And the New Testament letters are full of advice to help us live for God!



Nov 6: The New Testament part 1 (The Gospels)

Now we are moving on to the New Testament. What is the difference between the Old and the New? 

Jesus divides the Old and the New Testaments. The first four books of the New Testament record the life of Jesus. One big part of Jesus’ life on earth was doing miracles to help other people. Let’s look at one example: 


Why do you think Jesus did miracles? 

-He loved all people and desired to help them. (Mark 1:41

-He was able to do miracles because God gave him the power to heal people or raise people from the dead, to show that he was sent by God. (John 14:11

Do you think God still does miracles today? 

Through Sickness, a Grandfather Finds Eternal Life:
Hopeless and helpless, Prajval could only observe as his 1-year-old grandson suffered and grew weak, plagued by near-constant diarrhea and vomiting. The boy’s parents also could do nothing but stand by and watch as their son suffered. Prajval’s heart was heavy. Was there anything more they could do? 

Prajval and his fathers before him prayed to their ancestors for blessings. However, there were many in Prajval’s family who had suffered from various illnesses, some ultimately perishing. When Prajval’s grandson was born, the family rejoiced, but the young boy, too, fell ill. The child’s parents took him to a doctor, but the prescribed medicine did nothing. 

Physical remedies exhausted, they pursued a spiritual one. The family took the ailing boy to a nearby traditional priest, hoping he could heal him. But the child still suffered, growing weaker and weaker as time passed. Prajval and his family could only watch, helpless. 

Amidst this family’s struggles, they met a Christian man. This believer, seeing the pitiful state of the boy, offered to pray for the child, encouraging the family that God could do a miracle. The very next day, the believer brought his Pastor with him to visit the family. Prajval watched as these two Christians prayed over his bedridden grandson. Was this Jesus the answer when all else had failed? 

After praying for the sick boy, Pastor Sarish invited Prajval and his family to attend the church on Sunday. Curious and hopeful, they brought the boy to the church. There, Prajval saw something extraordinary: His ailing grandson was completely and totally healed! Witnessing this miraculous healing, Prajval and his entire family chose to set their hope in Christ. 

“My grandchild was so sick,” Prajval said. “We took him to many hospitals and [followed many rituals], but the child did not get healed. But Pastor Sarish and his believers prayed for him. God did a miracle in his life. Today, by God’s grace, he is completely healed.” 

Now, grandfather and grandson, along with their entire family, worship and praise God with fellow believers. 



When you hear about miracles is it difficult to believe them? Why or why not?


In the other group, Wes taught about the teachings of Jesus.
