water. Then finish reading 2 Samuel 23:15-17 Listen to the students reaction
to David pouring out the water (Hes crazy! Etc.)
Slide 9-13:
Use the pictures to show the difference between the enemy camp Rephaim
Valley and Davids Cave of Adullam
Rephaim valley is luscious and green, while David is hiding inside a desert
Cave~ Davids position is really tough. His army is smaller than the enemies
He has nothing to drink. Many people want him dead. He is thirsty and really
wishes for water.
Slide 14:
Explain what the word Humble means.
Explain why David pouring out the water was not crazy, but the best gift he
could ever give to God.
David was humbled that three men would risk their lives to get him a simple
cup of water. Why? Because, David realized he is just a man, a sinner, like all
humans, even though God has chosen him to be King.
The water is priceless, it is what David longed for, it is what he needs to live,
it is what three men risked their lives for.
This cup of water is the BEST thing that he has to give at this moment in time,
so instead of drinking the water David pours it out in offering to the Lord!
Pour the cup of water into the container as you are saying He (David)
poured it out before the Lord 2 Samuel 32:16

Slide 15:
God cares about the QUALITY of what we give him. We dont all have to be
Billionaires that give a lot of money to the poor or Doctors that save lives
everyday. But, we do need to live everyday doing our BEST to use our talents
for God.

Lesson 1

Stories about Davids mighty three are still being told today. They lived
hundreds of years ago, but they are remembered, because (Go to last slide)
Slide 17:
Message Summary:
They never gave up
They never backed down
They were men of integrity
They gave their all to God


NOTE: Everything in the Bible is history. These places really did exist, but
make sure the students know that things change over time. The Ancient Well,
for example, would not have had metal attached to it hundreds of years ago,
like it does in the picture. Also, Rephaim Valley would not have had
telephone wires and roads. ~ If they bring it up you can ask them to imagine
no roads, no wires, just a huge enemy army camped out waiting to attack
