Children's Ministry Lesson for July 20

For this Sunday, we will have classes for:

• Gospel Tots - ages 1 - 2 Years Old 
• Gospel Tykes - ages 3 - 5 Years Old 
• Gospel Kids - K - 2nd Grade
• Gospel Students - 3rd - 5th Grade 

We use the Gospel Project for Kids curriculum for the Children's Ministry at GLC.  The Gospel Project for Kids is a Christ-centered ongoing weekly Bible study resource that looks at the big picture of God's story, the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Each week, kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

And now for this week's lesson... 

This upcoming Sunday your child will learn about: David Showed Mercy
Story Point from 1 Samuel 24:David showed mercy even though Saul was trying to hurt him.
Family Bible Reading: LORD, there is no one like you. You are great; your name is great in power. Who should not fear you, King of the nations? It is what you deserve. Jeremiah 10:6-7a
Big Picture Question: Is anything or anyone greater than God?
Big Picture Answer: No, God is greater than everything and everyone.

Gospel Tots (ages 1 & 2 years old)

• David was kind and showed mercy to Saul. God was kind and showed us mercy by sending Jesus to rescue us from sin and death.

Gospel Tykes (ages 3 - 5 years old)  

• Saul wanted to be mean to David, but David was kind and showed mercy to Saul. Our sin makes us God’s enemies, but He showed us mercy by sending Jesus to rescue us from sin and death.

Gospel Kids (K - 2nd grade)

• Saul was trying to kill David, but David chose to show Saul mercy. When the people were killing Jesus, He showed them mercy and said, “Father, forgive them.” We all sin, but God shows us mercy through Jesus, who died for our sin and rose again.

Gospel Students (3rd - 5th grade)

• Saul was trying to kill David, but David chose to show Saul mercy. When the people were killing Jesus, He showed them mercy and said, “Father, forgive them.” We all sin, but God shows us mercy through Jesus, who died for our sin and rose again.
