GOD IS GOOD!
People didn’t see how special David was, but God did. God saw David’s good heart and chose him to be king. God sees our hearts too when we love Him and do what’s right.

God sees my heart!
David was overlooked, but God saw what no one else did: his heart. Even though he was young, God chose David to be Israel’s next king. Like David, we can love God and do what’s right even when no one notices, trusting that God sees our hearts and will reward us in His time.

Have you ever felt too young or too small to do something important? What do you think God says about you in those moments?
God had a special plan for David’s life. Did you know God has a plan for your life too? How can we trust Him with that plan—even when it’s hard to see?

HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHING FOCUS
In this teaching series on FRIENDS, we’re taking a look into multiple different relationship dynamics in the Bible. Friends, authority, family, and more!
This week:
David and Jonathan's friendship. We’re looking at the difference between true friends and those that are not authentic.
READ IT AT HOME
Proverbs 18:24
There are “friends” who destroy each other,
but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
CONTINUE THE CONVO
What are some qualities that would make the two types of ‘friends’ different in Proverbs 18:24? (What makes a fake friend vs a good friend)
Why would it have been difficult for Jonathan to want to be a true friend to David?
What do you think the reputation of people who go to church currently is in how they treat ‘friends’? Is that accurate? Is that good?
How can we follow Jesus’ command in John 13:34?
How can we better reflect Jesus in our friendships?
