## Resource

Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 1 Kings 12–22: “If the Lord Be God, Follow Him.” We’ll talk about Rehoboam and Jeroboam and how wrong voices, pride, fear, convenience, and counterfeit worship can pull our hearts away from God; Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and how choosing faith over fear can invite the Lord to bless, preserve, heal, strengthen, and restore us; and Elijah’s powerful question on Mount Carmel — “How long halt ye between two opinions?” — as an invitation for teens to examine what they are really following and choose Jesus Christ with an undivided heart. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-1-kings-12-22-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership
