Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
this week we focus on…
David
You can find the story of David here:
The story of David and Goliath to help the children understand, no matter how small they are, with God's help they can do BIG things. After the story you can point out to the children that David believed God would help him defeat Goliath.
Message:
It doesn't matter how big we are, we can be like David if we remember that we are on God's team and that he wants to help us. God is bigger than any giant, the Boogie man, or a monster on TV.
Time to Think
What made David so brave? (He knew what the Israelites had forgotten: with God's help little people can do big things too!)
Was King Saul brave? (No. He looked good in his armour but inside he was too scared to face Goliath.)
Why didn't David use King Saul's armour? (David knew he was not big enough to wear the heavy armour. He wisely chose to use tools he was familiar with.)
Can everyone who trusts in God do big things, or was David special?
Response:
Is there anything that is a Goliath to you today? Can you share that with us? We can always come to God with our Goliaths. Shall we pray now?
This week we learn about David, have a song from Sarah and we hear from Ruth about ways we can pray and hear from God.
