Bigs Discussion Questions

What was your favorite part of today’s Bible story?
Isaiah 22; 48 In today’s Bible story, The prophet Isaiah had a vision. A vision is like a dream, but Isaiah was awake. He saw what was going to happen to Jerusalem, a city in the kingdom of Judah. Isaiah told the people of Judah what he saw in this vision. His message was a warning: God’s judgment was coming to the people. God would punish the guilty. God’s people had made a wrong choice. They turned away from God and worshiped idols and false gods like their neighbors did. Isaiah said that God was going to judge Judah’s neighbors. Then Isaiah said God was going to judge Judah too. Judah’s enemy—the Babylonians—would come and take over the city. Isaiah told God’s people to repent, or turn away from their sin and turn back to God. In his vision, Isaiah saw that God’s people ignored his warning. Instead, they danced in the streets. Isaiah warned the people of Judah that they would be punished for their sin, but Isaiah also brought a message of hope. God’s people would be captured by the Babylonians, but one day they would be set free. God wanted His people to listen and obey. He wanted what was best for them. Isaiah said, “When you escape from Babylon, go tell what God has done for you.”

Elementary Discussion Questions

Why was it kind of God to send Isaiah to the people of Judah?
Remind kids that God is gracious and merciful. God wants every person to repent and be saved from their sin. Explain that He gave the Israelites many opportunities to repent and turn back to Him by sending prophets, like Isaiah, to warn the people. Discuss how God does the same for us. He warns us through His Word, through other believers, and through the Holy Spirit.
Why can it sometimes be hard to repent of our sin?
Discuss how we can be slow to confess or repent of sin because we fear the consequences sin brings. Remind kids that God already knows the sin in their hearts and will never turn them away when they come to Him for forgiveness. Encourage kids to be quick to repent of sin, knowing that God loves them and gave His Son, Jesus, to take the punishment for their sin.
Why should we obey God?
Prompt kids to think about how Israel continued to disobey God and ignore His warnings. Lead kids to understand that their continued disobedience led to God’s judgment. Remind kids that God wants us to obey because He knows what is best for us and that He wants us to avoid the consequences of sin. Discuss how living for God is for our good and His glory.
