Elijah A Life of Courage Highlights on Sunday Lesson

A Sunday School lesson centers on the prophet Elijah, emphasizing courage and faith. It outlines key episodes showing divine protection, bold prophetic action, and reliance on God amid peril, urging readers to apply Elijah’s example to daily trust and obedience.

The lesson chronicles Elijah’s confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel over drought and Baal worship. He hides by Cherith, feeds by ravens, then miraculously feeds a widow’s family, revives the widow’s son, and calls down fire from heaven on Carmel before commanding rain. Elijah’s courage leads to victory over Baal priests and renewal of worship of the Lord.
