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 Elijah 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 email Uncle Jon and Auntie Becky at [email protected].

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.

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, 38-40 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

3. Memory Verses There will be a memory verse from the life of Elijah each day at camp. You will be quizzed on the verse in the quiz the next morning. Below is the list of verses. We suggest that you start memorizing these verses before camp.

Monday – Hebrews 11:39-40

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received

not the promise: God having provided some

better thing for us, that they without us

should not be made perfect.

Tuesday - Malachi 4:2

But unto you that fear my name shall the

Sun of righteousness

arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up

as calves of the stall.

Wednesday – 1 Kings 18:39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they

said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is

the God.

Thursday – Romans 11:5

Even so then at this present time also there is a

remnant according to the election of grace.

Friday - 2 Kings 2:6b And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not

leave thee. And they two

went on.

You can cut out the memory verses and hang them up

to help you memorize them for camp, God willing!


6

4. Bible Readings There will be Bible readings from the life of Elijah each day at camp. You will do these readings with your camp group. You will be quizzed on the readings the next morning. The life of Elijah covers many chapters of the Bible. We will only be reading about some of the events in his life. Below is the list of readings for the quizzes each day. We suggest that you read over these readings before camp to help you in your preparation for the week and in doing your workbook. Monday – 1 Kings 16:29-34; 17:1-24; James 5:17; Hebrews 11:35, 38-40 Tuesday – 1 Kings 18:1-20 and Malachi 4:1-6 Wednesday – 1 Kings 18:21-46 and Leviticus 1:1-8 Thursday – 1 Kings 19:1-21 and Romans 11:1-5 Friday – 1 Kings 21:1-29; 2 Kings 2:1-15 and 2 Chronicles 21:12

5. Special Project You will need to prepare a special project to present in a 5-minute presentation to your class during Youth Camp. When thinking about your class presentation, it is best to pick one small idea and do it well, rather than trying to fit too much information into your 5-minute presentation. Here are some project ideas to choose from:

1. A map of significant places mentioned in the story. Be sure it is well labeled with

key places and key events at each place.

2. Write a skit or short play based on one of the events in the study. Find a couple of friends to help you act out your play for the class to enjoy.

3. Create a fun game based on Elijah’s life. Be sure to include Bible verses and interesting facts from the life of Elijah.

4. Draw a detailed picture or make a model of one of the events in these chapters.

5. A character study of one of the following characters: a. Obadiah b. Jezebel c. Ahab d. Elisha

6. Create a poster board project about the Baal and Asherah worship. Also include verses from other places in the Bible that speak against this type of behavior.

7. Make a comic/graphic novel version of one of the events in Elijah’s life.

8. Write out and illustrate one of the memory verses.

9. Use a Bible dictionary to look up information about one of the following subjects in the Bible and present your findings in a report, poster board or video: a. ravens b. famines/droughts c. the burnt offering

The Remnant of Israel In Romans 11, Paul reminds us that God chose the nation of Israel as His chosen people and that He will always preserve a faithful remnant. Read Romans 11:1-5 below. As you read: • With your YELLOW pencil, color the words of Elijah that Paul quotes. • With your PURPLE pencil, color God’s response to Elijah’s words 1 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! 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 Elijah, 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

Elijah, he was encouraged by the fact that God, through His GRACE, always

preserves a group of people who are faithful to Him.

TQ What encouragement can we gain from these verses in Romans? ______________ ______________________________________________________________________

Chronicles 21:12 we read that Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, received a letter from

Elijah. This would have been many years after Elijah was taken up in the whirlwind. We

also read of Elijah talking with the Lord Jesus Christ and Moses at the Transfiguration in

Matthew 17:1-9. Won’t it be wonderful in the Kingdom to be able to

ask Elijah what happened to him after he was separated from Elisha

and how he was able to be at the Transfiguration with our Lord!

The Day of the LORD The prophet Malachi talks about the work of Elijah at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Read Malachi 4:1-6 below. As you read: • With your RED pencil, color some of the things that will happen

to the “wicked”. • With your YELLOW pencil, color some of the things that will

happen to the “righteous”. 1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. 1.
