Bigs Discussion Questions

What was your favorite part of today’s Bible story?
2 Timothy 3 In today’s Bible story, a man named Paul wrote a letter to his friend Timothy. Paul was a follower of Jesus. He was also a missionary; he traveled to tell other people about Jesus. Timothy had helped Paul, and now Timothy was a church leader. Paul wrote to tell Timothy about living for Jesus and how to help others live for Jesus too. This is what Paul wrote: “Hard times are coming. Some people will not live for God. They will love themselves and money most of all. They will be proud and unloving. They will disobey their parents. Instead of loving God, they will do whatever they want. Stay away from these people. Everyone who wants to live for Jesus will face hard times too. Remember what you have learned and believed. The Word of God is able to give you the wisdom you need to be saved through faith in Jesus.”

Elementary Discussion Questions

What are some ways we live foolishly when we don’t listen to God?
Guide kids to think of characteristics from Paul’s list in 2 Timothy 3:1-7. Remind kids that foolishness relies on self, while wisdom relies on God. Encourage kids to think of practical ways they might disobey or act selfishly, like taking something from a sibling or talking back to an adult.
Why is it important to read the Bible and know what God says?
Remind kids that Scripture comes from God and tells us what is true. Invite kids to consider how the wisdom from the Bible goes against the selfish foolishness of those who don’t know the truth about God. Encourage kids that the Bible helps us know how to act in a way that pleases God.
Who can you tell about the importance of God’s Word?
