Bigs/Elementary Discussion Questions

Why did David want to build a house for God? (To David it seemed backwards that he lived in a palace but God’s house was a tent, 2 Sam. 7:2)
What did Nathan tell David at first? (to do as he wanted to, 2 Sam. 7:3)
What did God promise David? (that one of his descendants would be king forever, 2 Sam. 7:12-13)
Who fulfilled this promise of God? Guide kids to understand that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promise to David. Explain that Jesus was born into David’s family. Remind them that when Jesus died on the cross and rose again, He defeated sin and death. God gave Jesus all authority, and Jesus is the King of kings. His rule will never end.
Was it sinful for David to want to honor God with a temple? Guide the kids to see that David’s desire to build a house for God was not sin, but it was also not part of God’s perfect plan. If David had continued trying to build after God said no, it would have been sin. David trusted God’s timing and obeyed Him.
When will Jesus’ kingdom be fully established? Help the kids begin to understand that Jesus’ kingdom exists on earth through the people who love and follow Him. Guide them to think about when Jesus will return to earth to fix everything in the world and completely get rid of all sin. Help them see that Jesus will rule for all time.
