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 the steer in pieces, and laid it upon
the altar. 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, said 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, saying "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 &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,
Rickey was very 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."
Church Smiles
There
was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her
brother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable
in here?" asked the postal clerk. The lady replied "Only the Ten
Commandments".
There is the story of a pastor who got up one
Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad
news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new
building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your
pockets."
While driving in Pennsylvania
, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage
obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the
carriage was a hand printed sign ... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on
oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust".
Sunday
after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was
about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your
quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day,
the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's
Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter
is coming."
POEM
Give me a sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.
