Term 1 – Week 5
Big Idea – God delivered the Israelites from the hands of the Philistines through David.
1 Samuel 17
Outcomes
- To know that David is the Lord’s king, chosen by God and for the God.
- To understand that God rescued the Israelites from Goliath and the Philistine army through the shepherd boy David risking his own life.
- To appreciate that when David fought Goliath, he trusted God and accomplished the mission of the king.
Implications
- Belief (Head / Heart) – Do we believe that Jesus, like David, trusted God and risked his own life (even dying on the cross) and rose victorious over the enemies of sin, death and Satan?
- Behaviour (Hands) – Because Jesus has already won the battle on the cross, we can follow him into the battle and fight sin
Memory Verse
1 Samuel 16:7b
The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.
