Who was the king of Israel when Elijah was a prophet?
King Ahab
What was the name of Ahab’s queen?
Jezebel
What false god did the King and the Queen lead the people to worship?
Baal
Who gave Elijah the message about no rain?
God
What unusual animal brought Elijah’s food?
Raven
What did Elijah tell King Ahab would not fall until he said so?
Rain
Why did people worship Baal?
They believed he controlled weather and harvests.
What happened to the crops when there was no rain?
The ground dried up and harvests failed.
How did God keep Elijah alive at the Kerith Brook?
Ravens brought him food, and he drank from the brook.
How long did the drought last?
More than 3 years
Why was it surprising that ravens fed Elijah?
Ravens are selfish, but God made them care for Elijah.
When the brook dried up, who guided Elijah to a widow?
God.
What truth did Elijah’s survival show?
God provides for His people even in hard times.
What Bible verse reminds us that God is our help in trouble?
Psalm 46:1 — “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
What did the people learn when Baal could not bring rain?
Only God controls the weather.
If God cared for Elijah with birds and water, what does that teach us about His care for us?
God can provide in surprising ways.
Why can we say “God is our refuge” even when life is hard?
Because He protects and provides when no one else can.
How is God stronger than false gods or things we depend on today?
Because only God is real and living. False gods or things cannot hear us, help us, or save us. For example, money can’t keep us safe when we are sick, and a phone or video game can’t comfort us when we are sad—but God can always help us and give us peace.
When Elijah was hidden in the ravine, what does that show about God’s refuge?
God keeps His children safe in His plan.
Elijah trusted God to provide food — what can we trust God for today?
Our needs, safety, help in problems.
If your friends make fun of your faith, how does Elijah’s story encourage you?
To stand firm for God even when others follow false ways.
When you feel scared or alone, what does the Bible tell us about God?
God is our safe place and our strength. He is always ready to help us in trouble.
Elijah had to wait years during the drought — what does that teach us about waiting on God?
It teaches us that God’s timing is perfect. Even when answers are delayed, God is still working out His plan. Waiting on God means trusting that His way is always better than ours.
If your family ever struggles (money, sickness, sadness), what can you remember from Elijah’s story?
We can remember that God never abandons His children. Just like He sent ravens and a widow to feed Elijah, He will provide for us in ways we may not expect. Our hope and help come from Him alone.
: What is one way you can make God your “refuge” this week at school or home?
By running to God first when I face trouble — praying to Him instead of only relying on myself or others. Making God my refuge means I trust His strength to protect and guide me every day.
