Elementary Discussion Questions
What did God tell Cornelius in his vision? (to send for Peter, Acts 10:5)
What did God show to Peter through a vision? (a sheet in which many animals, including unclean animals, were sitting; Acts 10:11-12)
What did Peter’s vision mean? (that God wanted the gospel to be preached to Gentiles; Acts 10:28,34-36)
Why does God love all people?
Guide kids to remember that all people are made in God’s image. Help them see that our value and dignity do not come from our actions, our appearance, or the talents we have. Our value is based on God’s love for us and the fact that He has created each of us.
Why does God want us to love all people?
Guide kids to see that our love reflects His love. If we behave toward others as if we hate them or do not care about them, we communicate untrue things about God. Help them see that the Bible teaches us that we cannot love God without also loving people. Our love for people is evidence of our love for God.
How can we show with our actions that we love God and love people?
Guide kids to think practically about ways they can care for others. Suggest ways they can show kindness to their classmates and help them see that seeking out ways to show love to people who are different from them is a great way to show that God does not show favoritism.
