Memory Verse

“David took off the armor and picked up his shepherd’s stick. He went out to a stream and picked up five smooth rocks and put them in his leather bag. Then with his sling in his hand, he went straight toward Goliath.”

Quiz

Reflect

In this episode, Liz and the gang think about the five stones God gave to David to fight Goliath. The stones are compared to five truths that David saw as God called and equipped him to fight.

Today, God calls you and gives you a mission, just like David. He provides all you need. He surrounds you with loving family and friends to support you. God is with you. You don’t need to be a superhero to make the world a better place. When God calls you for a hard job, remember the five stones David had. You can do all things through him who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13).

Want to dig deeper and learn more about how God equips his heroes? Read the stories of Moses (Exodus 4:10-17, 24-31), Deborah (Judges 4:4-16) and Elijah (1 Kings 18).

Challenge

It’s time for you to join in to “seek justice and work to make a broken world a better place!”

1. Search out what your mission is (big or small). Ask an adult for ideas, if you need to.

2. Think about what are the gifts, talents and strengths that God has given you that makes this mission yours.

3. Search out the people who can support you in the work that you want to do.

4. When the challenge is in front of you, make a list of the steps to complete the work: What needs to be done first?

5. Look for the opportunities and blessings that God has laid out before you. When your mission is done, write about how it went. Then thank God for his gifts!
