Sabbath School Lesson For This Week: Old Testament Prophets | Lesson 3 (Q4 2026) | Elijah & Burnout

Welcome to your Sabbath School lesson for this week! In this study for Q4 2026, we dive deep into Lesson 3: Old Testament Prophets. Have you ever experienced a massive spiritual high, only to crash into emotional exhaustion and burnout days later? In this video, we explore the extraordinary humanity of the prophets—focusing closely on Elijah's dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel, his flight to the broom bush in 1 Kings 19, and how God gently restores a tired servant through physical care, quietness, and community.
