In an art class, you'll discover everything you need to know about using your imagination to create brilliant pieces of
art. Sometimes, the things you create can help solve a need or show the world something amazing about who God is.
In this series, kids will hear about some of the amazing things God did through Elisha to help people imagine
how their gifts could make a difference. They'll see how God asks us to help each other, God can do incredible
things, and God helps us solve big problems. By the end, we'll start to see the wonderful things we can do when we
know God gives us more than we can imagine.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.”

Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs after God answered his prayer and gave him great wisdom. We should seek wisdom. Wisdom is understanding a situation and knowing what to do. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins. But His love doesn’t stop there. God has much to say about human friendship and how we use our words and resources. We can trust His ways and apply what we learn from Him. This month we will focus on God's wisdom and how we can use that wisdom with friends, with words, and with  how we use money.

"For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." (Proverbs 2:6)

This summer, we’ll explore the leadership of Israel’s most notable kings: Saul, David, and Solomon. God ordained Saul as Israel’s first king, but he fell victim to his own arrogance. Though God’s Spirit rested on Saul in the beginning, he wouldn’t recognize when it departed. Saul displayed what it looks like to live outside of the Lord’s will; he embodied foolishness. But God had a plan for someone else to serve as king—a man after God’s heart, a man who would point to the King of heaven and earth rather than himself. King David modeled humility, dependence on God, and wisdom. Even through David’s imperfections, he modeled confession and repentance. His son, Solomon, followed in David’s steps, building the temple and establishing a permanent house for the Lord. And though he was granted unmatched wisdom from God, Solomon also fell to his own sinful desires. What we can gather from these men is the truth that no earthly king can take the place of our heavenly King. No earthly king would bend low, take on the sins of the people, and walk humbly as a servant. Only King Jesus could perfectly fulfill the role. He is our good and perfect King.

Where there is shadow, there is light, so the shadows don't have to scare us. As we grow and experience more life, we
might find the shadows of doubt or questions creeping towards us. Rather than run from the shadows, we can look to
God to cast some light on the situation. In this series from the Old and New Testaments, we'll explore how we
can step into the light whenever we doubt God's presence. We'll talk about how when we doubt God can be trusted,
we can find the light and choose to remember what God's already done.
We'll learn how, when Jesus' followers disappoint us, we can step up to be what we don't see.
We'll explore what can happen when we've lost hope and how we can ask God to surprise us.
And we'll see how even when the shadows make it feel like God's not listening, we don't stop praying.

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
— Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
