Compare the responses of Saul and David to their sin.

A great comparison study to do with the kids and/or for yourself is to compare Saul's response to be confronted by someone about his sin and David's response.

David's response when Nathan confronts him in 2 Samuel 11 and 12 and Psalm 51, specifically 2 Samuel 12:13
REPENTANCE

Saul's response when Samuel confronts him in 1 Samuel 13 (v. 11) and 15 (13-16)

God forgives David: 03.09

While their are details of this lesson that don't need to be discussed with children, 
THE FOCUS OF THIS LESSON NEEDS TO BE THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN.

Psalm 51:10:  Create in me a clean heart, O God,


Psalm 51:10:  Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me 

The specific sin of adultery is challenging to teach here are a couple of basic ways to approach the subject:
- David stole another man's wife.
- God created marriage to be something special between one man and one woman.  David didn't act like he thought marriage was special.
