Main Focus: God Protects

1 Samuel 18-20 (David and Jonathan)

ANTICIPATE:  "Walk of Fame" 

Special Guest:  "Halfway Herbert" with Pastor Glen
Pastor Glen told  the story of Halfway Herbert and reminded us to love the Lord with ALL our heart.  

David was anointed king, but he did not become king immediately.  God had some important lessons to teach him.  When David went to live with king Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David and loved him as himself.  However, David was faced with the increasingly jealous and angry king.  Saul would not spare any opportunity to rid of David to ensure his own kingdom.  But God protected David again and again.  God even used an extraordinary friend, Jonathan, to help protect David. So David could one day become the king of Israel.  

Memory Verse: "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. "  (Proverbs 16:9 )

Worship Response: "Guided to Safety"

When we read the news in this world that has largely turned away from God, it can be quite disturbing and scary.  But, God protects!  Those who trust in the Lord can have peace because God is able to protect His people. We can trust in God's protection.

May our children be kept safe from all evil this week.  May they know God is with them in times of danger and trust God is able to protect them.
