TGKIDS RECAP
TGKIDS
The heart of TGKids is to help children understand that the Bible is all about Jesus! Below is the story, scripture, and main teaching points from the TGKids lesson, so that you can talk with your kids about what they learned.
Bible Story: God Chooses a New King
Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1-13
Bible Truth: Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.
Where is Jesus: Isaiah 53:2b
God did not choose David because of his outward appearance but because he had a heart for God. David was a handsome young boy but not tall in stature.
Isaiah tells us of another king who “had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him” (Isaiah 53:2). God’s choice of David to replace Saul as king over Israel should make us think of another king, King Jesus. Jesus would have a perfect heart for God and die on the cross so that he could extend to us his righteousness.
Through Christ, God takes our heart of stone and gives us a heart of flesh. Then God does something truly remarkable, he moves us to obey him by his Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27).
