FAMILY FAITH TALK—Profiles of Grace During the week, seek to talk together about the people God used in 1 Kings 17:7-16. The questions progress from targeting younger children (#s 1 & 2) to targeting teens (#s 5 & 6). 1.
How did God take care of Elijah?
2.
How did God take care of the Widow?
3.
Talk about a time when you saw God provide for your family.
4.
Do you think it was difficult to trust Elijah’s words about an oil jar that would ever run out of oil? Why?
5.
How would Elijah feel about obeying God and then living where the brook had dried up? How would he feel about being sent to a poor widow to be taken care of?
6.
What role does faith play in Elijah’s obedience to God?
