More about these Bible coloring pages

During last week's lesson, my third graders were on the edge of their seats as we talked about Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The coloring page beautifully illustrates the dramatic moment when 'the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice' (1 Kings 18:38). With six images, kids can color Elijah praying, the roaring fire, and even the crowd's amazed faces. I found that having them use markers or crayons helped them engage with the story while they colored. We often use these pages during class to reinforce our lessons. It’s a wonderful free printable to keep in our Sunday school binder for future use. I love seeing their creativity shine through as they learn about God's power.
