David Anointed King is a free Sunday school lesson for 1st-3rd Grade (Ages 6-9), covering 1 Samuel 16:1-13.
Theme: God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance
The Bible tells us about David Anointed King. This story shows us that god looks at the heart, not the outward appearance. God was faithful to His people, and He is faithful to us today.
Gospel Connection: Samuel saw David’s outward appearance. God saw his heart. Jesus, son of David, also looked unremarkable but was the King (Isaiah 53:2).
