Discussion Time
After watching the video, ask the following questions to further teach and apply today’s lesson.
Minis/Littles Discussion Questions
What did Abraham want Isaac to do? (get married)
What did Abraham’s servant ask God to help him do? (find the right wife for Isaac)
Who gave water to all the camels? (Rebekah)
Who thanked God for providing a wife for Isaac? (the servant)
Why can we trust God? (We can trust God because He is faithful)
Bigs/Elementary Discussion Questions
Ask the following questions, leading discussion as suggested:
What sign did Abraham’s servant ask God for? (He asked that a woman would offer water to the camels if he asked for a drink, Gen. 24:14)
What did Abraham’s servant give Rebekah after she gave water to the camels? (a gold ring and two gold bracelets, Gen. 24:22)
How did Rebekah’s family feel about her marrying Isaac? (They believed it was God’s plan, Gen. 24:50-51)
How was Rebekah important to God’s plan? (Guide kids to see that for Abraham’s family to keep growing, Isaac would need a family of his own. Discuss ways God uses ordinary people in His extraordinary plans)
How can we be sure that God has plans for us? (Guide kids to see that God’s promises to Abraham apply to us, too. Remind them that our “spiritual” family grows each time a person believes in Jesus. We have been given a mission to spread the gospel)
How do we know what God has planned for us? (Guide kids to remember the servant’s prayer for guidance in selecting a wife for Isaac. Encourage kids to go to God in prayer when they feel uncertain. Ensure they know that God wants us to obey the commands in His Word)
