4 1. Completing Your Workbook Don t forget to pray to God before you begin, asking for an open mind and heart so that you can understand what you are studying. This workbook will help you begin studying the life of so that you understand the basic story and help you prepare for camp. The workbook is written using the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. Feel free to look at other versions to help you understand the text. Start each section of questions by reading through the verses and doing the Bible Marking for that section. We will do activities at camp, God willing, using the Bible Marking that you do in your camp preparations. There are questions throughout the book with a (TQ) symbol, which stands for thought question (or some like to call them tough questions!). These are designed to make you think about the answer, so don t expect to find the answer in a specific verse, just write down what you think. Read all the extra information in the workbook. There are different translations, word definitions and lots of other useful information which will help you to understand more about the story. Also enjoy the extra activities throughout the book, like word searches and mazes and feel free to color the pictures. If you are having trouble with a question, put a star next to it and move on to the next question. When you have completed the section, go back and try again. If you still can t get it, ask someone for help or Uncle Jon and Auntie Becky at jbgore97@gmail.com. Directions for Using a Strong s Concordance 1. Look up the word in the main concordance (the front section) just like you would in a regular dictionary. 2. Find the verse that contains the word you are looking for and look for a number to the right of the reference. 3. Use this number to look up the meaning in the back of the concordance. Because we are studying the Old Testament you will use the Hebrew dictionary in the back of the concordance. 3

5 2. Minute Meditation You will need to prepare a Minute Meditation to present at camp. You will present it in your class or you can volunteer to present it in the main pavilion. You will need to choose one verse on which to base your Minute Meditation. A Minute Meditation is an opportunity for you to meditate or think about a verse from the study and share what you have learned in approximately one minute. You will read the verse and then tell what you have learned from the verse. You can share what you have learned about God and His character, or what you have learned about the people in the verse, or how this verse relates to other verses in the Bible, or how it relates to your life or a combination of these ideas. The passages are divided up by the first letter of your last name. Please find the first letter of your last name below and choose a verse from one of the passages listed next to that letter to use for your Minute Meditation. A-C: 1 Kings 16:29-34; 17:1-24; James 5:17 and Hebrews 11:35, D-K: 1 Kings 18:1-20 and Malachi 4:1-6 L-Q: 1 Kings 18:21-46 and Leviticus 1:1-8 R-S: 1 Kings 19:1-21 and Romans 11:1-5 T-Z: 1 Kings 21:1-29; 2 Kings 2:1-15 and 2 Chronicles 21:12 4

8 5. Special Project You will need to prepare a special project to present in a 5-minute presentation to your class during Youth Camp.

For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, 3 LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. What reason does Paul give as to why there is a remnant that has been preserved? (v.5) Paul lived in a time when there were many people that were against the spreading of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. However, like the prophet, he was encouraged by the fact that God, through His GRACE, always preserves a group of people who are faithful to Him.
