This free Bible lesson, Man's King and God's King, will teach preschool and elementary students about the true story of King Saul and King David over Israel. The nation of Israel demanded a king, but God was not ready to appoint a human king. He gave them Saul, a man from the tribe of Benjamin. But God spoke through the prophet Samuel and told him to anoint David, a shepherd from the tribe of Judah to be the human king of Israel. Jesus was a descendant of King David and the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant.

Big Idea: Trust in God's timing.

FOCUS BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Samuel 8, 9:15-16, 16:1
