More about these Bible coloring pages

While my 7-year-old colored Elijah calling on God, she exclaimed, 'Look at the fire!' It was a great moment to talk about faith and God's power. The coloring page includes scenes of Elijah, the altar, and even the fire from heaven. As we colored, we discussed how 'the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice' (1 Kings 18:38). It helped her understand the importance of trusting God. These pages are free printables and great for a fun afternoon or Sunday school lesson. I love seeing their creativity come alive with colors, especially during our weekly Bible study.
