To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “God’s Promise to David” exercise on the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in pairs to complete as indicated.
Transition into the lesson by stating, “Today, as we delve into the heart of 2 Samuel 7:4-17, we will concentrate on the importance of God’s commitments, particularly his divine promise to King David.”
To encourage personal application:
Distribute the “Prayer Chart” exercise from the activity page to be completed individually in a minute or less. This can be sent home with students to ponder in the week to come.
Have pairs write a prayer for obedience to God, even when his plans differ from our plans. Encourage pairs to pray together before ending class.
