SuperVerse

Have the children open their Bibles and find the SuperVerse, 1 Samuel 16:7b, then ask a child to read it aloud.

“People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Samuel thought God would surely choose one of the older, bigger boys to be Israel’s next king. But God looks at things differently than man does! He chose David, who was the youngest and smallest son. God knew David’s heart and chose him to do great things as King of Israel!

Do you remember what Chris was afraid of in our last lesson? Playing his guitar for a band audition.

He didn’t see himself as very "big" and capable in his own eyes to go out on that stage. How did he get the courage to play his guitar? God helped him.

If our heart follows after God, we can do great things no matter how anyone else sees us.

Today, we’re going to have a quick talent show, but this one is different—everyone will win!

Divide the class into small groups. Ask each group to work together to come up with a unique idea on how to present the SuperVerse. They can make up a rap, create motions, take turns saying the words or phrases in a “wave,” etc. After a few minutes, have each group present the verse to the rest of the class. If any children are too shy to “perform,” gently encourage them to step out in faith, but don’t force them—they can always be part of the audience.
