 <p>The Weird Stories series dives into some of the strangest and most unexpected stories in Scripture, but underneath all the weirdness are powerful truths about God, faith, and following Him. This three-week series helps students discover that even the weirdest moments in the Bible can teach us how to listen to God, stay spiritually sharp, and trust Jesus as our ultimate Deliverer.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nSeries Overview:<br />\r\nLesson 1: &ldquo;Balaam and the Talking Donkey&rdquo; shows how spiritual blindness and divided hearts can cause us to miss what God is doing and saying.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nLesson 2: &ldquo;Elisha and the Floating Axe Head&rdquo; shows how God restores what&rsquo;s been lost when we honestly return to Him.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nLesson 3: &ldquo;Ehud and the Fat King&rdquo; shows how God uses overlooked people in unexpected ways and why Jesus is our ultimate Deliverer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To preview a sample of this content, <a
