STORY OF ELIJAH The
Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining the story of
Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal.
She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood
upon it, cut a steer in pieces, and laid it upon the
altar. And then, Elijah commanded the people of God to
fill four barrels of water and pour it over the
altar. He had them do this four times "Now, asked the
teacher, "Can anyone in the class tell me why the
Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the
altar?" A little girl in the back of the room started
waving her hand, "I know! I know!" she said, "To make
the gravy!" LOT'S
WIFE The Sunday School teacher was
describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into
a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, "My
Mummy looked back once, while she was driving," he
announced triumphantly, "and she turned into a
telephone pole!" GOOD
SAMARITAN A Sunday school teacher was
telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in
which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead.
She described the situation in vivid detail so her
students would catch the drama. Then, she asked the
class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside,
all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?" A
thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, "I
think I'd throw up." DID NOAH
FISH? A Sunday school teacher asked,
"Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when
he was on the Ark?"
"No," replied David. "How could he, with just two
worms?" HIGHER
POWER A Sunday school teacher said to her
children, " We have been learning how powerful kings
and queens were in Bible times. But, there is
a higher power. Can anybody tell me what it is?" One
child blurted
out, "Aces!" MOSES AND THE RED
SEA Nine-year-old
Joey, was asked by his mother what he had learned
in Sunday school. "Well, Mom, our teacher told us how
God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission
to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When
he got to the Red Sea, he had
his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people
walked across safely. Then, he radioed headquarters
for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the
bridge and all the Israelites were saved." "Now,
Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?"
his mother asked. "Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the
way the teacher did, you 'd never believe
it!" THE LORD IS MY
SHEPHERD A Sunday School teacher decided to
have her young class memorize one of the most quoted
passages in the Bible; Psalm 23. She gave the
youngsters a month to learn the verse. Little Rick
was excited about the task -- but, he just couldn't
remember the Psalm. After much practice, he
could barely get past the first line. On the day that
the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front
of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it
was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said
proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I
need to know."
