Bigs Discussion Questions
What was your favorite part of today’s Bible story?
Isaiah 9 In today’s Bible story, When sin entered the world after Adam and Eve disobeyed, God made a promise. God promised a Rescuer would come from Eve’s family. God sometimes spoke to His people through prophets, people who got a message from God and then told it to the people. The prophet Isaiah shared a message about God’s promise to send a Rescuer. The Rescuer would be called the Messiah, which means “anointed one” or “chosen one.” This is what Isaiah wrote: “This is how God will keep His promise: A child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders.” That meant that Jesus was coming, and He would be a King. Isaiah also said, “He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Even more names for Jesus!

Elementary Discussion Questions
What does it mean to say Jesus is the Prince of Peace?
Guide kids to discuss the ways Jesus brings peace to earth. Help them think through Jesus’ death and resurrection to bring peace between God and people. Point out the way Christians are empowered to love one another despite any social, cultural, ethnic, or economic differences. Jesus unites all kinds of people to God and one another in peace.
How have you experienced God’s faithfulness?
Guide kids to think about the ways God has come through for them or their families. Encourage them to think about the ways God has kept different promises from Scripture, such as the promise to give us joy when we trust Him or the promise to be with us always. Help them think about the ways God provides for their needs, just as Jesus said He would.
What are some reasons you might struggle to trust God’s faithfulness?
Allow the kids to offer suggestions of times they have trouble trusting God. Be prepared with examples from your own life. Talk about God’s timing; explain that waiting thousands of years for God to fulfill a promise can be difficult. Remind the kids that many people lived and died waiting for Jesus to come the first time, but they had faith in God—they knew He would someday keep His promise, even if they didn’t know when. Jesus’ promise to return may not happen in our lifetime, but we still have faith that God’s timing is perfect.
