Obviously it will be a generic overview but the idea I want to emphasize as always is obedience. We will discuss Samuel, the last judge and the one who anoints the first two kings of Israel, Saul, Israel's first king, and David, Israel's most important king. Our key verse for the night will be 1 Samuel 15:22 - "To obey is better than sacrifice".
We will look at how the king of Israel was expected to be loyal to the covenant. 1 Samuel 15 shows Saul's disobedience to the covenant and 2 Samuel 7 shows David's obedience. Even as a king after God's heart, David's life demonstrates the need for another King who will come in purity and absolute loyalty to the Lord. That king of course is Jesus Christ.
Activities for Cubbies
1. Sing this song to the tune of “M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E”
What are we to do when God says special words to us
L-I-S-T-E-N, Listen to the Lord
Listen now, (Listen now)
Listen well (Listen well)
God will tell us what to do (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
So, listen when you hear his voice and obey His word
L-I-S-T-E-N, Listen to the Lord.
2. This is a great lesson to make crowns and speak about the King of Kings.
3. A great object lesson for looking on the inside instead of the outside is the rock called a Geode. It looks like an ordinary rock on the surface. However, if a person cuts it open, you can see beautiful crystals inside. Share again how God looks at our inside not what we look like on the outside.
