More about these Bible coloring pages

When my kids colored the Saul King pages last week, they were so excited to learn about how Saul became king. One page shows Samuel anointing Saul, and my son asked, 'What does it mean to be a ruler?' We talked about how God chose Saul and how he had to follow God's ways. I reminded them of the verse, 'Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?' (1 Samuel 10:1). Each page in this set is simple for kids to color, making it great for a classroom setting or a family Bible study. My 9-year-old can finish a page in about 15 minutes, so they’re perfect for a Sunday school class. We often use these during our Bible time, and they spark great discussions about leadership and faith.
