AMAZED: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON ELIJAH
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA:  IT'S AMAZING! GOD KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR ME

SERIES OVERVIEW:

This month, we are going through the major events in the life of prophet Elijah, all of which are nothing short of amazing! Elijah's ministry took place during turbulent times for God's people – so much so that Elijah felt utterly alone at times. Sometimes he was literally alone. But God's presence and power with Elijah throughout those times is undeniable. Through these stories, kids will discover how amazing it is that God takes care of us, God knows whats best for us, God speaks to us, and all in all, God does SO MANY amazing things! 

We won't lie — sometimes working with the parents of kids can be a challenge. If you're feeling frustrated at a parent right now, here's a simple but helpful tip: assume every parent is doing the very best they can. Empathy, understanding, and honor will go a long way, both in your relationship with that parent and in the behavior you model for that parent's kid.
