The children will discuss the increased jealousy of King Saul toward David and Jonathon’s love and obedience for the Lord, protecting David from the evil wishes of Saul, and acting as a true friend. The children will pray, asking God to help them to be a good friend. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 31st lesson in the 2nd Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “God Teaches and Protects His Children” unit.
