Outline
- David returns ark to Jerusalem 2 Sam. 6:2
- Carried on cart, not on poles Exodus 25:14
- Uzzah struck dead 2 Sam. 6:7
- David left ark with Obed-edom 3 months
- brought ark to Jerusalem correctly 2 Sam. 6:15
- Discussion Point: good intentions does not equal obedience. Also, while the laws in Exodus were 400 years old at David's time, they were still in force. God's laws are still in force today.
- God said Solomon would build it.
-
David prepared plans and material
- Discussion point: Just because an idea is a good one, doesn't mean God might have other plans. Also, David did not sulk about his rejection, but rather did what he could to make the job easier for his son.
-
God promises that David’s family will reign forever 2 Sam. 7:13,16
- Still true today through Christ.
-
Kept his promise to Jonathon by taking care of his son 2 Sam. 9:7
Activity: Add to the good and bad points David on his chart. David seeks ways to please God, he repents and obeys, he is kind and remembers his friends. On bad side, he neglects to obey the law to the letter, he forgets to check with God first about the temple.
Craft: Have students draw a picture of David in his house (or color a similar picture). On another page, draw and cut open doors. Paste the door frame onto the first page. Let students decorate the doors as well.
