A Heart After God Respects Others

Mar 15, 2020 • David Spares Saul’s Life (1 Samuel 18:1-16, 22:1-5, 24:1-22)

Ask Your Kids:
David knew that God had promised to make him king, so David could have killed Saul and become king right away. But did David kill Saul? (No) That’s right! David didn’t kill Saul. Instead, David showed respect by trusting that God would make him king one day and by being kind to King Saul while he waited to become king. Just like David, we can be kind and have hearts that respect others, too!
