He sared he long walk back o Samaria and King Ahab s alace. H differen he land looked n afer hree years of famine. The ground was hard and cracked. Elijah covered his mouh and nose agains he swirling, bling dus. He walked hrough villages in which fresh mounds of sones covered newly buried bodies. Surely, he hough, surely n he eole will be ready o reurn o God. King Ahab was ersonally searching he counryside for asure for his royal animals. The famine had even reached he alace.

A fer more han hree years of drough, i rained. Queen Jezebel wasn imressed. Elijah had killed all 450 of he rohes of Baal and sared a siriual renewal in Israel. The eole had reurned o Jehovah God. Jezebel refused o believe in Elijah s God. She boldly declared ha Elijah mus die. A messenger sen from Jezebel walked quickly bringing news o he rohe. The servan said, I have come from Queen Jezebel. She sends his message o you: May he gods deal wih me, be i ever so severely, if by his ime omorr I do no make your life like ha of one of hem (1 Kings 19:2). Elijah had faced hundreds of eole on Moun Carmel, all of whom blamed him for he misery caused by he drough and famine. He had faced he rohes of Baal. Elijah had sood agains he er of evil and drawn he eole back o God. Ye when Elijah go his message from Jezebel he forgo h God had aken care of him during he drough.

Jezebel hreaened him, and Elijah ran for his life. Bu God did no forge His servan. Finally Elijah fell aslee on he hard ground. He waned o die. A sof hand ouched his shoulder. Elijah jumed awake, hinking one of Jezebel s servans had found him. Bu a kind face looked a him. God had sen an angel o His frighened servan.

He undersood ha running away from Jezebel was no ar of God s lan. God had waned him o say and break he er of he worshiers of Baal. Running away hadn been he smares hing he d ever done. No doub he fel a lile ashamed of his acions. Bu Elijah didn si hinking abou himself for oo long. He had work o do. God had said, Go back he way you came. God sill had work for Elijah o do. N Elijah would be running wih God insead of away from Him. Elijah drew his cloak around him. Maybe he smiled o himself. He could almos feel he joy of he Lord giving him srengh. He sood u and headed back he way he had come back ard Israel and Jezebel. As he looked around he could see God s love and grace in everyhing. When he had been running away, everyhing was sill dry and brn and dead from he long drough. N waer was leniful. The land was green again. He was no afraid anymore.

Asking for favors from eole you don kn very well is even harder. Our sory his week demonsraes h God gives us he er o serve Him and winess for Him no maer h difficul i may be. If Nehemiah would have wrien a journal abou his exeriences, his sory migh have read somehing like his: o (NOV. 1) 40 age Wherever we are, we serve when we share wha we kn abou God. 26h day, Kislev, Year 20, Susa, Persia anani came from Judah oday.

5 ourbeliefs 1The Word of God The Naure of Man I believe ha God insired hrough he 7 I believe ha Jesus made eole in Holy Siri every wrier of he Bible. Everyhing wrien in he Word of God is rue, and can hel me live a hay and healhy life. 2 The Godhead I believe ha he God who loves me is One God manifesed in hree ersons he Faher, he Son, and he Holy Siri. Each works hard o each me h o live a beer, more meaningful life. 3 God he Faher I believe ha God he Faher is he er ha kees me and every oher creaure in he universe alive. He is kind and forgiving, and will never leave me. 4 God he Son I believe ha Jesus, God he Son, creaed his world and everyhing good in i. Two housand years ago, He came o his earh as a baby, grew u, and lived a sinless life. He hen died on he cross so ha I could someday live forever wih Him in heaven. 5 6 God he Holy Siri I believe ha God he Holy Siri seaks o me hrough ha sill, small voice I hear in my houghs whenever I feel afraid, sad, or lonely. He ells me ha everyhing will be all righ. The Holy Siri also ries o each me righ from wrong by making me feel guily when I sin and joyful each ime I choose o obey God s laws of love. 6 Creaion I believe ha Jesus creaed everyhing in six days and hen resed on he sevenh day. When He finished making he rees, animals, oceans, mounains, and eole, Jesus looked around a all ha He had done and said joyfully, This is very good! he image of God. Each enjoys he freedom o hink and ac any way hey choose. Even hough sin and bad choices have brough ain and suffering o many, we re sill children of God. Wih he hel of he Holy Siri, we can care for each oher jus as God cares for each one of us. 8 The Grea Conroversy I believe ha Saan is a real being who wans o desroy us all. He works hard each day o bring sin ino our lives. God wans us o live each day wih joy, hainess, and love. God and Saan are fighing for conrol over our lives and our fuures. To hel us overcome sin, Jesus sends he Holy Siri and loving angels o guide and roec us. 9 Life, Deah, and Resurrecion of Jesus I believe ha Jesus lived a erfec life in order o sh us ha i s ossible o overcome sin. He died on he cross so I won have o lose my heavenly home because of my sins. Then, God he Faher raised Jesus from he dead o sh h He ll someday raise me from he dead if I die before Jesus reurns. 10 The Exerience of Salvaion I believe ha when I all Jesus ino my hear, He hels me change from a sinner o a child of God, ready o live forever in heaven. He eaches me h o be like Him as I read my Bible and foll he loving guidance of he Holy Siri. Because of Jesus, I can feel confiden ha I m forgiven and ha here s a home waiing for me in heaven. 11 Gring in Jesus I believe ha when someone invies Jesus ino heir hear, changes sar o haen. Wha hey read, wach on elevision or on he Inerne, ea, and lisen o, and he laces hey go, even he words hey say, will change. The ages of he Bible will become like a exbook for living, and hey will alk o Jesus hroughou each day. These changes kee haening, day afer day, unil Jesus comes. 12 The Church I believe ha my church is a lace where eole who love Jesus can raise Him ogeher wih joy and aniciaion. I s like aending a fun family reunion each week. Jesus loves His church and lisens o every word soken and every song sung. 13 The Remnan and Is Mission I believe ha before Jesus comes he second ime, some eole in my church will choose sin over salvaion. Those who say faihful o Jesus and o wha he voice of he Holy Siri ells hem o do are called he remnan, and hey will work exra hard o bring he love of God o he world. Though he remnan may be small in number, hey will accomlish grea hings for God so ha Jesus can reurn. 14 Uniy in he Body of Chris I believe ha any church whose members worshi God should welcome eole from any naion, who seak any language, and whose skin is any color. We re all equal in God s sigh. H we look and h we sound makes no difference. We re all children of he same heavenly Faher. 15 Baism I believe ha when I m baized, I m elling everyone ha I love God and wan o live my life in service o Him. Baism is like being buried as a sinner and hen rising u o live a new life for Jesus.

6 16 The Lord s Suer I believe ha when Jesus ae His las meal wih His disciles righ before He was crucified, He augh us somehing wonderful. He said ha he grae juice (wine) reresened His silled blood and ha he bread reresened His broken body. When I arake of The Lord s Suer a church, i hels me remember he sacrifice Jesus made for me on he cross. 17 Siriual Gifs and Minisries I believe ha God has given us secial alens ha we can use o serve Him. We each enjoy differen skills such as music, reaching, eaching, ar, giving Bible sudies, visiing he sick, or making eole feel welcome when hey visi our church. Each siriual gif is imoran o God s work. 18 The Gif of Prohecy I believe ha he eole in God s church have needed hel kning h o live and wha o look forward o in he fuure. So God invied a woman named Ellen G. Whie o be His rohe and rovide guidance, insrucion, and correcion for His eole. Her wriings also hel us undersand he imoran lessons found in he Bible. 19 The Law of God I believe ha God s Ten Commandmens conain he bes rules for living. Each is designed o roec me from sin and hel me love God and ohers beer. Each reresens h much God loves me and h He wans me o live a hay, healhy life. Obeying he Ten Commandmens is like saying I love You o God and ohers. 20 The I believe ha God creaed he sevenh day (Saurday) o be a holy day. He commands me o res, worshi Him, and do secial work for Him on ha day as a way of shing Him and ohers ha I believe He is he Creaor of all good hings. God s holy begins a sundn on Friday and ends a sundn on Saurday. 21 Sewardshi I believe ha everyhing belongs o God: he rees, he flers, he animals even me. God has asked me o ake care of wha He creaed and o roec all hings from harm even me. So I will cherish God s creaures and creaion. To sh Him h roud I am o be His seward, I ll faihfully reurn a ihe (10 ercen) of my ime, alen, and money. I wan God o bless his world and everyhing in i even me. 22 Adaed from God Loves Me 28 Ways By Charles Mills Chrisian Behavior I believe ha anyone who loves Jesus should alk, ac, ea, work, and lay differenly from hose who love Saan. Everyhing I do should sh ohers ha Jesus lives in my hear and ha I m doing my bes o live by His rules of love. Marriage and 23 he Family I believe ha in order for us o undersand he joy of living in heaven, God invies us o creae families here on his earh. Our heavenly Faher wans our earhly homes o be safe laces where we learn abou His love and forgiveness. When we love our brohers and sisers, arens and grandarens, uncles and auns, we re exeriencing a beauiful examle of wha i will be like o live in heaven wih everyone who has chosen o love and obey God. 24 Jesus Minisry in he Heavenly Sancuary I believe ha God insruced Moses and he children of Israel o build a emle in he wilderness o exlain wha Jesus is doing righ n in heaven. In he wilderness he riess offered o God animal sacrifices for he forgiveness of sins and ronounced judgmen on hose who chose o do evil. Tha s wha Jesus is doing righ n in heaven. He is our heavenly ries who forgives us, cleanses sin from our hears, and finally welcomes us home o heaven. 25 The Second Coming of Jesus I believe ha one day soon Jesus is going o reurn o his earh and invie everyone who has chosen o love and obey Him o heaven. When He comes, hose who hae Him will be desroyed. Bu everyone else, even he faihful who have died in he as, will leave his dark world and send eerniy wih Jesus. 26 Deah and Resurrecion I believe ha Jesus can raise eole from he dead. He did i before, raising Lazarus and he wid s son, and He will do i again when He comes he second ime. So even hough some of my family members are aslee in heir graves, I ll see hem again because of he er of God over deah. 27 The Millennium and he End of Sin I believe ha someday sin and sinners will be gone forever. Even hose who died haing God will fully undersand he lies ha Saan old hem, and will agree ha God s judgmen is jus. Wihou God s resence o shield hem from harm, Saan and every sinner will be comleely desroyed by fire. 28 The New Earh I believe ha afer Saan and sinners are desroyed, my heavenly Faher will creae a brand-new world for us o enjoy. There will be no deah, no ears, no ain, no suffering. All, will be eace and love. Bes of all, I will enjoy his wonderful world forever ogeher wih my family and all who love God. 7

7 biblical ime line Is your life exciing and fun every single day? Probably no! Bu everyone exeriences cerain evens ha are memorable and even lifechanging. Being born is cerainly one of hose major evens in life! Saring school, erforming your firs music recial, learning o read, going on a mission ri, invening a game ha your friends love o lay, or commiing your life o Jesus by being baized may be oher evens you remember. Somehing erribly sad may also have haened ha you can forge. The Bible is a lile bi like your life. Even hough i conains many sories, and all of hem can each us somehing abou God and His love for us, only a few of he Bible sories conain evens ha are boh memorable and life-changing. Those evens were urning oins in he hisory of God s eole. Once hey ook lace, everyhing was differen aferward. Six of hose life-changing sories are illusraed in he six icures you see bel. Very likely you can look a hem and figure ou wha Bible sories hey reresen. The six icures form a Bible-icure ime line ha can hel you make sense of he whole, big Bible sory CREATION THE FLOOD THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT THE CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON Wihou i none of us would be here. Tha cerainly changed everyhing forever! The world is very differen n from wha i was like before he Flood. Afer God s eole were led ou of Egy, hey became a naion. They were no longer jus individual families and ribes. God s eole wandered far from he friendshi God waned o have wih hem, so He sen hem ino caiviy in Babylon. Evenually hey were able o reurn home, bu never again did hey have heir n king. They were always under he er of some oher kingdom. 8

8 3A Promise Ke Key References: 1 Kings 18:41-46; Prohes and Kings, cha. 12, ; The Bible Sory, vol. 5, ; Our Beliefs nos. 10, 18, 3 The Lord is no sl in keeing his romise, as some undersand slness. Insead he is aien wih you, no waning anyone o erish, bu everyone o come o reenance (2 Peer 3:9). Have you ever rayed for somehing and no goen an In your Bible Sudy Guide you will find each weekly School lesson marked as o where i fis in he big Bible sory. Today we live beween he firs coming and he second coming of Jesus. We live very close o he Second Coming! As you become more familiar wih fiing he individual sories ino he icure ime line, you will beer undersand he Bible as one big sory and become closer friends wih Jesus. And when you see h he small sories fi around he six bigger sories, hen he Bible will become even more meaningful o you. Hoefully you will realize more han ever ha you are ar of he big Bible sory! answer righ away? Tha haened o Elijah righ afer he had exerienced an insan answer o rayer when fire came dn from heaven on Moun Carmel. This ime, hever, he rayed seven imes before he go an answer. A fer God answered Elijah s rayer on Moun Carmel by s fire from heaven, he eole realized ha Baal was a fal The rohes of Baal, hever, refused o acce Jehovah as God. Even wih he evidence of he burned-u alar, hey wou recognize he er of God. Because of his, Elijah command hey be killed. No one rohe of Baal escaed. Then Elijah old he king o go and ea, because he knew a rain was coming. Bu Elijah didn so o ea and res; he wen o of Moun Carmel and looked a he sky over he Medierra Sea. I was blue. There were no clouds. Elijah heard no hunder of dus rose from he barren sides of he mounain ridge. Wihe lans ben in he wind. Bu Elijah believed ha God would sen o he land as He had romised. Wihou any evidence of rain, El believed rain would come, and had old he king o reare. Elijah bed dn wih his face o he ground and rayed fo God s eole. A grea miracle had occurred ha day on Moun THE FIRST COMING OF JESUS A las he Messiah, Jesus, for whom God s eole had been waiing housands of years, came o his earh o rescue us from he er of sin. From hen on, he message abou His love and salvaion began o go o he whole world. THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS This is he las major even foreold in he Bible. When Jesus comes, He will ake us o heaven and end sin and suffering forever. 9

9 dear suden You are a gif from God, and He loves you very much! If he Lord kns each sar by name and makes sure ha i is in he roer lace each nigh (Isaiah 40: 26), h much more imoran are you? No every erson is alike. Look around you. Everyone has differen color eyes, hair, skin, and build (all, shor, big-boned, and hin). We all learn differenly. Some eole learn by lisening, ohers by sigh, and sill ohers by ouch. Some eole use all hree ways o learn. Regardless of h you learn, he Lord wans you o love Him and serve Him wih all your hear. You do ha when you ray, learn abou Him (in your lesson sudy), alk abou Him o ohers, and do wha is righ. Here is a grea ruh you should kn abou he Lord: Jesus isn rimarily concerned abou h well you can read or wrie, or even h well you can seak. Wha Jesus cares abou mos is h much you love Him and wan Him in your life. The greaes accomlishmen in your life will be o sh ohers h much God has blessed your life. In school you use differen ways o ge he informaion ha you wan. Use hose same ways o learn more abou he Lord: Use your comuer, ipod, or ipad o hear or sudy your lesson. Or have your arens read your lesson o you. Use he Bible on CD, or he audio odcas of your lesson a odcas.h?channel=1. I does no maer which way you ge he informaion, as long as you are gring and mauring in he Lord. Think abou his when you mee Jesus face o face: He is no going o ask o see h well you wrie somehing. He will no ask you o read anyhing. His only ursui is o read your hear o see h much you love Him. He wans o send eerniy wih you! This Bible sudy guide is abou... God s grace, which enables us o rus in Him, kning ha He will rovide for us regardless of our circumsances. Revealing God s love by serving, because God s love comels us o miniser o he needs we see around us, rusing God and sanding srong when oressed. Worshiing God, who gave us His Son, by exressing our graiude for he greaes gif of all ime God s Son, born o be our Savior.
