Ask the Questions

Minis/Littles Discussion Questions

Bigs/Elementary Discussion Questions

What did a prophet do? (shared God’s message with the people)
What did God tell Zechariah to collect from the people? (silver and gold to make a crown for Joshua, Zech. 6:9)
What was the special message of hope to God’s people? (Zechariah said the Messiah is coming, Zech. 9:9)
Why do you think God spoke this message of hope through Zechariah?
Guide the kids to see that God cares for us. The Israelites were struggling in rebuilding the temple and finding their identity as a people. God reminded them that they are His chosen people.
How can we be encouraged to obey God even when life is difficult?
Help the kids understand that God has given us hope for a future eternity with Him, but we also get to be part of His kingdom here on this earth. Our obedience flows out of our love for Him and for what He has done for us.
How do we know Jesus is the Messiah?
Guide kids to understand that Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, and God showed other people that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus perfectly fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, such as those found in today’s story, and did miracles to prove His identity as God’s Son. Jesus perfectly obeyed all the law, showing us exactly who God is.
