What we are teaching this month

Series Title:

Fired up

Memory Verse: Matthew 4:4 “It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Fire up the ovens! We're headed to the kitchen to bake up something special. Kitchens  are incredible places where the most basic ingredients are transformed into delicious treats. Our faith can be a lot like that, too. In this 5-week series, kids wil follow the life of  the prophet Elijah, whose ministry involved a lot of fire and bread as he formed a special  relationship with God. They'll learn how knowing God helps me find what I need, hears my voice, guides me when I'm scared, comforts me, and is always with me are all the  ingredients they need to get fired up!
