Fire up the ovens! We're headed to the kitchen to bake up something special. Kitchens are incredible places where the
most basic ingredients are transformed into delicious treats. Our faith can be a lot like that, too. In this series,
kids will follow the life of the prophet Elijah, whose ministry involved a lot of fire and bread as he formed a special
relationship with God. They'll learn how knowing God helps me find what I need, hears my voice, guides me when
I'm scared, comforts me, and is always with me. These are all the ingredients they need to get fired up!

It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.’” — Matthew 4:4 (NIV)

Get ready to go into the wild as KidLIFE reflects on the adventure of following God!
Throughout the epistles, we encounter stories of the early church facing persecution, trials and
uncertainty. In each letter, God’s provision and hope shines bright. Yes, we face trials and have an
enemy, but God is our living hope. He equips us with His armor, and He will return one day. God is
ultimately victorious, regardless of our circumstances!

The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom
rules over all. (Psalm 103:19)

We’ve all experienced the desire to look, sound, or be like the people around us, and Israel was no exception. In this series we’ll see what happens when God’s people request a king to rule over them—just like the nations around them—and when they get want they want. As we dig deep into Scripture, we’ll see that when we trust Jesus, we won’t desire to look like the world. Sometimes, we’re all tempted to think we know best and decide to go our own way—especially when we get impatient. That’s exactly what happens to Saul. He takes matters into his own hands, disobeying God’s commands. Depending on ourselves will always lead to failure. Saul became impatient and disobeyed God. He tried to rationalize his disobedience because he saved for himself the best for the Lord out of something he was supposed to destroy completely. As we dig deeper, we see that our obedience to God must be complete. When King Saul disobeyed, God rejected him and gave Samuel a new mission: anointing a new king. God sent Samuel to a man named Jesse, who had several sons, to anoint the new king. Jesse presented sons who looked the part of the king, but for each one, God said “no.” Then came David, the youngest who was watching the flocks. When Samuel saw this shepherd boy, God said, “That’s him. He’s the one.” And Samuel anointed David. No one thought David looked like a king, not like Saul. But this series shows us that God cares about the condition of our hearts.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and started writing the most incredible story.
It's not a story meant to be put away on a shelf somewhere, but it's one we're meant to explore and experience
because we're deeply connected to it. God created a role for each of us to play.
In this series from the Old and New Testaments, we'll take a look at the story of God as we learn more about our lives
and our roles within it. We'll see that God is writing a good story, how sin isn't the end of the story,
the way Jesus can rewrite our stories, and that we can be part of God's story.

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry
of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against
them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation." — 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (NIV)
