Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division):

1.Jonathan’s and Michal’s love for David, Saul’s fear

Principle: Perfect love, found in Christ, casts out fear.

2.Saul’s order to kill David, Michal deceives, David escapes to Samuel

Principle: No one can outrun and hide from God.

3.Jonathan confirms Saul’s desire to kill David and David leaves

Principle: The best place to go is where God sends you.

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):

David, loved by Jonathan and Michal, is feared by Saul.

 

Aim (“To Cause My Audience To…” Know, See, etc.):

TCMATK God is able to alleviate our fears and guide us in the right path, protecting us all the way.

 

Application (not yes or no question.  Meant to bring about heart change):

1.In what area(s) of your life is fear (rather than love) ruling your thoughts and actions?

2.Where do you run when you’re afraid?  Is this where you should be running?

3.What have you walked away from (or do you need to walk away from) to do God’s will?
