Ask the Questions
Bigs Discussion Questions
Who told the people in Corinth about Jesus? (Paul)
After Paul left Corinth, who started telling the people things that were not true? (new teachers)
Why were the new teachers sharing a message that was not true? (They did not love God and tried to keep the good news from spreading.)
Why did Paul do everything for God? (God had chosen him and changed his life.)
Why does the church exist? The church exists to glorify God.
Elementary Discussion Questions
Paul was concerned the Corinthians would be deceived just like who? (Eve, 2 Cor. 11:3)
Did Paul charge the Corinthians to share the gospel with them? (no, 2 Cor. 11:7)
What did Paul face because of his desire to share the gospel? (all kinds of sufferings, 2 Cor. 11:23-27)
Where can we find the truth about God and ourselves?
Guide kids to see that the Bible is the only source of truth about God and our relationship to Him. Lead them to discuss why we need the Bible, and how we can learn truth from it.
What sufferings might we face if we stand up for the gospel?
Discuss the ways kids may feel left out or unpopular for their faith. Point out that some places
in the world still face very severe persecution, such as imprisonment or even death. Remind the kids that even those severe forms of persecution cannot stop God’s plan to grow the church, and that the gospel is worth facing any kind of mistreatment.Where can we get strength to face persecution and stand up for the gospel?
Remind kids that God is our source of strength. Help them see that being afraid of persecution is natural and normal. Discuss ways the Holy Spirit can help them face fears and do things that seem impossible or scary.
