The middle school students and I talked about Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. It was a fun time retelling the story in modern vernacular and seeing that there is but one, true God who will not share His glory with anyone or anything. We saw that God means business when it comes to who/what we worship and that He alone must be the object of our worship. We saw how worshipping and putting our trust in anyone or anything else is futile and simply foolish.
This was cleverly illustrated by a makeshift tug-o-war match between Jessica M. and 5 boys. It was initially apparent that Jess had no chance of winning. Then I gave the boys their instructions. They had to lay on their bellies and pull only with their left hand. This was absolutely hilarious and most helpful to show the students that the 5 boys were basically useless in the contest.
What a great time we have together!
May God truly bless the Student Ministries as we seek Him in all that we do!
For His Kingdom...
