King David - Self Control

Last Sunday Discovery Point: King David – Self Control

Last Sunday, the children learned about having self-control. Having self-control means to follow the Will of our Lord, instead of giving in to the temptations of this world. It means keeping thoughts, actions, and desires in line with God's Will by resisting things that may seem good on the surface, but are actually bad. Giving into these desires is self-indulgent. (Scripture used: 1 Samuel 24:1-22)

Memory Verse:

 "Those who are controlled by their sinful nature can't please God." Romans 8:8 NIRV

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:

1. How can we indulge in _________?

2. How can we show self-control when it comes to _________?
