Fundamental Truth: Jesus Came to Save Sinners
Making it Real:
David fought and defeated the giant, Goliath. If anyone just looked at the two men, they would never guess David could win. But God fought with David and gave him victory over Goliath. David’s victory saved his people, the Israelites, from being slaves to the Philistines, Israel’s enemies. What can we learn from this story?
We can learn that if we are fighting on God’s side, we will have victory. God cannot be defeated. Even if our victory looks different than we imagined, God always wins. If we are fighting on the side against God, we have no chance of winning. We can also see how God used David to rescue his people Israel, another example of a rescuer who points us to Christ, the ultimate Rescuer who saves us from our sins.
Making it Stick:
Put on a skit to reenact the story of David and Goliath. You can be Goliath and your child can be David. For your part, mock the armies of God and for your child’s part, have him or her defend God and fight for God. Use pillows instead of rocks and play up the theatrical aspect of this. Talk about why David fought, what he believed while fighting, and why the Lord gave David victory.
