Ask the Questions

Bigs Discussion Questions

Why did the man who could not walk sit at the gate by the temple every day? (to ask people for money)
What did Peter do when the man asked for help? (Peter healed the man who could not walk.)
What did the man do next? (He went into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.)
Did Peter and John agree when the religious leaders told them to stop telling people about Jesus? (No, they could not be quiet about Jesus.)
How does the Holy Spirit help Christians? The Holy Spirit comforts us, shows us our sin, and guides us as we live for God’s glory.

Elementary Discussion Questions

What did the man who couldn’t walk ask for? (money, Acts 3:3)
What did Peter do when people were gathered in amazement at the healing? (preached the gospel, Acts 3:12-26)
What did Peter and John do when ordered to stop talking about Jesus? (refused to obey humans and chose to obey God, Acts 4:19)
Will God heal every person who has an illness or disability?
Guide kids to think through two lenses: the lens of our physical lives now and our eternal lives with God. Even though not everyone will have their physical ailments healed now, everyone who believes in Jesus will one day live in a restored world with no pain, sadness, sickness, or death.
Why was it OK for Peter and John to refuse to obey the authorities who arrested them?
Remind kids that the Bible contains many commands to obey leaders
and submit to government authorities, but that God’s authority always supersedes human authority. We obey human authorities as long as they do not command us to disobey God.
When can we preach the gospel?
Guide kids to think beyond the simple answer of “all the time.” Remind them that Peter used the opportunities in front of him to preach. We can preach all the time, and we can be strategic and plan specific ways to tell people about Jesus’ work to save us.
