What is Life Of David?

Recently, I was frustrated with our worship services for several months because the kids in my class were not worshipping in a way I knew they could. Some kids entered into worship, but many sat down and did not sing.

I have found that teaching on that subject is one of the most fruitful ways to get kids to change. I decided to write a new series on worship. As I prayed about it, I was impressed by the idea of using David’s life as a springboard to teach the kids about loving God.

Kids connect with David as we see him doing great things for God as a young boy. We usually hear about how David defeated Goliath and eventually became king of Israel, but the foundation was David’s relationship with God—his prayer life.

Each week I taught a different bible story from David's life. I had the kids act out the story as I read it from the Bible. Our Kids liked participating in the lesson. I liked it because it was simple. (There was no line memorization or drama rehearsals. Kids just acted out the story as I read it.)

I saw a significant increase in our kids' participation in the worship part of the service, so I decided to make it available to other churches.

I pray that his teaching will bless your kids like it blessed the kids in my class.

In His Service,
