Elisha was a mighty man for God. God worked through him to show how much He cares for us! God is our Healer, our Provider, our Protector, and our Friend.
I use these PowerPoint presentation as a backdrop for telling the Bible stories to children in our Sabbath School. The presentation include the Bible text, pictures, songs, and suggestions for activities. I hope you enjoy them.
Prophet Elisha and the Company of Prophets — 2 Kings 2, 4, and 6
In this presentation there are four short stories about how God provided for the company of prophets through Elisha. We can trust our faithful God that He cares for us too! The stories include Healing the Water with Salt, Debts Paid by a Miraculous Pour of Oil, Feeding 100 With 20 Loaves, and The Axe head that Floated. During the stories the kids can use play dough to illustrate the stories by making things like a bowl, (oil) jug, bread, a tree, and an axe. We’ll sing praises to God. The craft is a raised salt message, God cares for you,
Elisha, the Women of Shunem, and Generosity — 2 Kings 4:8-37
The Woman of Shunem and the LORD GOD are pictures of generosity at it’s finest. Blessings were not asked for, but were freely given. That is how much God loves and cares for us!
Captain Naaman, Healed of Leprosy — 2 Kings 5
Sin, like leprosy, makes us unclean and separates us from the One we love, God. Naaman had leprosy, but his wife’s servant girl knew who to turn to. It is Jesus who can save us! She told him to go to prophet Elisha. He did and humbled himself to do what Elisha said to do and he was cleansed. Naaman chose to worship God. In this presentation, have fun acting out parts of the story, coloring, singing, and doing a craft.
Elisha and the Lord’s Army — 2 Kings 6:8-23
This story is full of surprises and intrigue! God protects His people again and again by warning them of attacks and by surrounding them with protective army — the Army of the Lord. But when it comes right down to it, how does God fight? He fights hate, with love; greed with generosity; fear with faith. The blinded army are led to the capitol, but they aren’t killed, they are given a feast! They walk away and there is peace! At the end of the presentation, we have the opportunity to do some roll plays and try to figure out how to respond God’s way with love, generosity, and faith. The craft is to make a chariot:
