Who did Paul meet as he was traveling along? (Jesus)
What did Jesus ask Paul? (“Why are you against me?” )
What did God tell Ananias He had planned for Paul?
(“I have chosen Paul to tell many people about Me.”)
Why were the people so amazed when Paul said that Jesus is the Son of God?
(He had been an enemy of Jesus, but now he loved Jesus.)

Elementary Discussion Questions

Why was Paul traveling to Damascus? (to arrest and persecute Christians, Acts 9:1-2)
What did Jesus ask Paul? (“Why are you persecuting me?” Acts 9:4)
What did Paul do when his sight was restored?
(preached about Jesus in the synagogue, Acts 9:20)
Why do you think God chose to use Paul to spread the gospel?
Help the kids think through what we learn about God’s power from His choice to use Paul. Discuss our tendency to see some people as “too bad” for salvation. Remind them that all have sinned, and God’s power and love are greater than the power of sin in our lives. Choosing Paul was a way for God to show His power and control of all things.
Can you think of anyone you would be shocked to learn became a Christian?
Encourage kids to be honest and open about their thoughts. Remind them that God loves each person, and that Jesus came to save all sinners. Help them see that all sin is enough to earn death and separation from God.
What are ways you think you need to change to be more like Jesus?
Lead kids to discuss their own need for grace and mercy. Help them talk through their flaws and remind them that the Holy Spirit changes all believers over time to be more like Jesus.
