Bigs Discussion Questions

How did Paul send a message to Jesus’ followers in Ephesus? (He wrote them a letter.)
Did Jews and Gentiles get along? (no)
Who brings Jews and Gentiles together? (Jesus)
What brings together everyone who has faith in Jesus? (the gospel)
Where can we read the letter Paul wrote? (in the Bible in the Book of Ephesians)
What is sanctification? Sanctification is how God makes us more like Jesus.

Elementary Discussion Questions

Why did the Jews make a plan to stop Paul from sharing the gospel? (They believed that the gospel went against Jewish laws; Acts 21:28)
What message did Paul receive while in the Roman prison? (God told Paul to have courage because he would preach in Rome; Acts 23:11)
What did the Jewish leaders plan to do to Paul? (kill him, Acts 23:12-15)
Why did Paul continue to obey Jesus, even when his freedom and safety were threatened? Help the kids understand that Paul knew the promises of God. Paul understood that following Jesus is often like a fight. Paul had hope for the future, and was being made more like Jesus each day. Jesus gave His life for us, and we can give our lives so others can believe the gospel.
What might we risk by sharing the gospel boldly?
Talk to your group about the risks they might face. They may be unpopular or have other kids who think they are strange or awkward. Remind the kids that in some places, talking about Jesus can be punished with prison or death, just like Paul faced.
Will God protect us from all hard times or pain?
Help the kids think about Paul and Stephen. God allowed Stephen to be martyred, but He protected Paul. God protected Paul from death, but not from prison. Paul still faced many hardships for Jesus. Help the kids see that God works through all circumstances, even those that are difficult, sad, or scary.
