06/22/2025 Samuel Anointed David (1 Samuel 16)
In 1 Samuel 16, we see a powerful turning point in God’s story with his people. While Saul looked impressive on the outside, God chose David because of his heart. Even the prophet Samuel was tempted to judge by appearance, but God reminded him that he looks at the heart. As you teach the kids this week, be encouraged that God delights in those who trust him and walk in faith. He uses ordinary people with willing hearts to do extraordinary things. You are part of that story, and you are deeply loved.
