The Lord Speaks to Elijah (1 Kings 19:9-18) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

We often hope, or perhaps even expect, that God would speak to us in a clear and booming voice or come to us in obvious ways. We might be tempted to give up on faith when times get tough or when we don’t “feel like” God is present. This message explains to children that God is always with us and frequently comes to us in unexpected ways. The story of Elijah on Mount Horeb reminds us that God is not always in the earthquakes and fires but makes himself known with simple whispers.

Law/Gospel Theme: We sometimes tend to think that we can do enough to get ourselves closer to God. We want to hear His voice in booming audible tones, or we expect Him to show up in certain specific ways and feel disappointed when He doesn’t follow our “rules.” Through Christ, God was made man and lived among us, and people missed Him then, too! God provides for us and comes to us in strange and unexpected ways sometimes. He might reveal Himself through quiet whispers or through other people. We trust in His care and look to His Son for hope and strength.
