This week we look at the story of Elijah and the false prophets of Baal. The story of Elijah is ultimately a story about the God of the universe who wants to reveal Himself to us despite the fact that we betray Him and put our faith and hope in false gods. In the Story of Elijah there are many different characters; God, Elijah, Baal, the prophets of Baal, Ahab, and the people of Israel.
If you were to look at a Bible and pick out the super heroes, who would they be? These are the characters we more often than not will find in children Bible Story Coloring Books. They are larger than life figures with massive amounts of faith that make us feel inspired and, many times, inadequate. These are the people we will look at during our summer series Coloring Book All-Stars. Not only will we talk about them, we will also do our best to show you why they are just like the rest of us with all of their faults and scars; by understanding their flaws we can also learn to trust Jesus better in our lives.
