Bigs/Elementary Discussion Questions

Why did the king of Aram surround Dothan? (He was trying to capture Elisha, who had told Israel where the Aramean army was; 2 Kings 6:13-14)
Why was Elisha not afraid of Aram’s army? (He knew that God was protecting him with an even larger army, 2 Kings 6:16-17)
What did Elisha tell the king of Israel to do with the Aramean army? (Show mercy to them, feed them, and send them away; 2 Kings 6:22)
How has God protected us? Guide kids to see that, whether or not God protects everyone from physical harm, He sent Jesus who died on the cross for us to protect us from the greatest harm—dying in sin apart from God.
How does Jesus show us what God is like? Guide kids to see that, although God the Father does not have a physical body the way Jesus does, Jesus shows us the Father’s power, love, mercy, grace, and holiness. Jesus perfectly obeyed God and perfectly communicated God’s plans for the world. Jesus is God the Son. (Col. 1:15)
What are some ways we may be “blind” to what God is doing around us? Guide kids to think about the ways we allow ourselves to be distracted by the world. We often focus on ourselves and the circumstances we face instead of on God and His power to help us.
