===================
10:45am TRU 

1st-4th grade 
Main Focus: Yahweh: The Most High God
1 Kings 18-19 (Elijah on Mt. Carmel)
ANTICIPATE:  "Tru Olympics" 
Elijah challenged the prophets of the false god, Baal, to a contest on Mt. Carmel to see whether Yahweh, the Most High God, or Baal was real and all-powerful.
Throughout this week's Big God Story, we saw Yahweh, the Most High God, in some very different ways.  We saw Him as an consuming fire, bringing glory to Himself and causing His people to return to Him.  We also saw Him speak in a gentle whisper to Elijah to comfort him.  Today, we can trust that Yahweh is the Most High God who is powerful, loves us, protects us, demands our worship and comforts us.  
Memory Verse: "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.  (Proverbs 16:9 )

Worship Response: "God Is God!"--God is one true and existing God.
 
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."--Psalm 46:10
May the Lord reveal Himself to our children in big and small ways this week.  May God be the Most High God in their lives and may our children have ears to hear His whispers.
