Kids'Bible Lesson:David
The story of David is such a beautiful view of courageousness and strength, especially in the young. David was young, and had his whole life ahead of him. Undoubtedly, during one of the biggest confrontations that his people were facing, he was willing to stand up for God. Moreover, his whole confidence was not not focused on himself it was securely focused on God his one higher power.

David and Goliath Bible Lesson :
To begin, David was the youngest of three brothers, all of whom were warriors. All the while David was in charge of watching his Father’s sheep. Which is actually a really beautiful connection to Jesus who is our shepherd. Being a shepherd is a huge responsibility and it isn’t without danger. At the time his brothers thought that being a shepherd was a job that was inferior to that of a warrior.
No Giant Is Big Enough:
When Goliath enters the scene, he brings with him an immense amount of fear. For 40 days he challenges the Israelites to enter into battle. Not one man is willing to fight, not one man was willing to trust God to deliver them.
Equally important is that when David heard Goliath mock God, and scare his people he stepped up. And that day Goliath would be defeated with five smooth stones. Again, we see God using an unlikely character and an unconventional method to defeat the enemy.
Follow Up Questions:
- What job did David have? Shepherd
