Big Idea: God uses unlikely people
Bible Story: David Becomes King (1 Samuel 16:1-13; 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10)
WHAT YOU DO
Watch the video! Sing and dance along to the worship songs, watch the Bible story, and connect the big idea to real life!
Talk about each of the questions to keep the conversation going
Do the activity together to have some fun and reinforce the big idea!
Talk It Through Together
Question of the day! (all ages!)
Go around the room and ask the question: “Who would win in a fight? A jedi or Superman?”
Story Questions:
Why did Samuel think that God would choose Jesse’s oldest son to be king? (Jesse’s oldest son looked the most like a king--he was tall and strong!)
Why did God choose David to be king? (God was looking at David’s heart. God saw that David had the heart of a king.)
What do you think it means that God uses unlikely people?
How can we have the kind of heart God looks for?
DO IT // activity
Cut out the animal cards and the action cards (view/print below or pull from your July Church Kit!), and put them in two separate piles!
Draw one card from the animal pile and the other from the action pile.
Act out the cards and see if your teammate can guess what animal is doing what action!
Unusual means something that you might not really expect, something uncommon or unique! In today’s story, God chose David to be king of Israel even though he was the most unlikely candidate. David was seen as an underdog in the eyes of his family, but he was the one who God chose to be king because of his heart. As we stay close to God, God will use us to do great things, too!
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about how we can learn from the leaders God puts around us!
