I was out of town last week, so I hadn’t gotten the new Sunday School curriculum. I decided to piggyback off of the lesson my pastor had taught the children last week about God choosing David as king. What else did he choose David for? Prophet, Warrior, Psalmist. All of these are true but His choice of David as progenitor of an eternal dynasty is most important.
Here is how it played out. I had the students do a Bible drill and read passages about 4 covenants of God. God made other covenants not mentioned here, most notably the Adamic and Noahic, but these four represent much of the focus of the Old and New Testament (i.e. Covenant) passages. The table and preliminaries don’t copy over quite the same as they appear on the student’s worksheet, but you get the idea:
Four Great Covenants of God
God chose _______________ to be _________, in place of ____________.
There are two points: 1) He was a man ___________________________ (Acts 13:22)
2) God desires from us ______________ and _______________ and _______________
(I Sam 15:22; I Cor. 1:27)
From last week’s lesson, God chose David to be king, in place of Saul.
The two points of the previous lesson were 1) He [David] was a man after God’s own heart. 2) God desires from us obedience and humility and integrity.
Following is a picture of how I outlined the Covenants as the students read through them:
