Faith Kids @ Home: October 14, 2012

The following lesson was taught in our children’s Sunday School classes on Sunday, October 14.  We would encourage you to use the ideas below to review Sunday’s lesson with your family.

Israel Rejects God as King

Passage:  1 Samuel 8–12

Principle:  God is King, and we must submit to Him.

Praise:  “He Reigns”

Prompt:  Ask your child these questions:

  • Why was Israel’s request for a king sinful?
  • What were God’s conditions for blessing Israel and their new king?

Practice:  Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:

  • By trusting God, not human strength or wisdom, in trying times.
  • By obeying God, who is King

This Week:  As a family, read selected portions of 1 Samuel 8–12.

Next Week:  1 Samuel 13:1–14; 15:1–34

Memory Verse:  Psalm 24:10
“Who is this King of glory?  The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.”
