The Lord is my Shepherd!

Children's Sunday School | At-home Resources

March 14: Read or watch the story The Good Shepherd | Jesus Storybook Bible | page 130
Talk about these questions:
  • David was a shepherd boy. What did he become when he grew up?
  • David did some very bad things. What did he pray for?
  • What did God promise David for the future of his family?
  • What does this tell us about Jesus?

Download the handout and the coloring page.

We learned that David was also a songwriter. Have you ever sung a song written by David? Check out this song based on The Song of the Shepherd that we read in our story, Psalm 23.
We have lots of music in the church that is based on the songs of David.  

Let's Go Deeper! (for older kids)

Read this in the Bible: 
2 Samuel 7 : the story of David's worst mistake and God's forgiveness)
Psalm 23 : the Lord is my Shepherd)
Psalm 51 : the song of repentance that David prayed to God)

Take the time to find more songs based on the poems and songs of David. If you need help, you let me know! What do these songs tell you about David?

Praying through this story
Thank you, God, for your being our shepherd. We are like sheep who sometimes wander off. Thank you for keeping us close to you! Teach us to praise you like David did. In Jesus Name, AMEN
