David’s Victory Over Saul

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 19, 2022

Just like Saul we sometimes hold on to grudges. David has been avoiding King Saul because he wanted to kill David. This lesson shows David returning goodness for evilness and this put Saul to shame. We should not repay good with evil. It is sad when we think we have a nature that can be chaotic revengeful, and wanting to return evil for evil. We sometimes forget we are in control of how we treat the people around us.

David Flees to the Wilderness

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 18, 2022

King Saul was going to kill David if it was the last thing he ever did. Saul followed wherever he heard David was hiding and followed him. David stayed one step ahead of Saul because David listened to the LORD God. David was under the protection of the LORD. Sometimes it looked and felt like David was all by himself but he wasn’t. Just like David we are under the protection of the LORD. All we have to do is…

David Fleeing From Saul

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 18, 2022

King Saul wanted David dead! He did not care how or who killed him Saul just wanted David dead. Saul was growing desperate in his hatred of David. He even went to his son Jonathan to murder David. That was not the plan or the Will of the LORD God. David had many people helping him. One was Jonathan who warned his beloved friend of the evil intentions of his father and he also interceded before Saul on David’s behalf.

The Earlier Experiences of David

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 22, 2022

It is so comforting to know that the LORD God chooses who He want for the task He chooses. Have you noticed many times in the Bible, and in life, the LORD chooses unlikely people to do His work. That is so everyone will know that the work being done is the work of the LORD not the work of man. You need to remember those who are rejected of men are often beloved of the LORD.

David and Goliath

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 22, 2022

The lesson of David and Goliath is a compelling powerful lesson to illustrate the power of the LORD God in our lives. We need to always remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. It is the Lord who guides our steps forward and we need to keep walking forward to face struggles and conflicts that come our way on our life journey.

David as a Youth

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 18, 2022

The LORD does not choose workers because they are beautiful, smart, or even rich. The most important lesson we can learn from David as a Youth is that when the LORD choices a person to be in His service He does so by looking within the heart.

Samson Pulls Down the Temple

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 21, 2022

There are many lessons that can be learned from the story of Samson. We also must remember to use the gifts, skills and our abilities that we receive from the LORD for the service of Him. We need to be cautious to place our trust only in people who are trustworthy. This sometimes requires us to ask for wisdom from the LORD to know if someone is trustworthy or not trust.

Samson And Delilah

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 13, 2022

We are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and must listen, trust and obey. Samson was chosen to rescue the children of Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. He should have concentrated more on his mission for the LORD instead of playing pranks and joking with his enemies. We must equally be careful to concentrate on the task that the Lord has given us to do instead of doing what we want to do.

Samson and the Jawbone of an Ass

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 21, 2022

Samson teaches us we should never become so full of ourselves that we disregard our parents and our LORD. Had Samson followed the advice of his parents and of the LORD God he could have had a beautifully happy life and avoided a load of pain. But Sampson was still too full of himself.

Samson and the Lion

Children's Bible Studies Old Testament January 15, 2015March 21, 2022

Samson grew up to be very strong. Samson was blessed at birth with superhuman strength to use against the Philistines. Samson married a Philistine woman. Samson was not interested in the LORD or His guidance. Samson only did what pleased him.
