Ask the Questions
Bigs Discussion Questions
What was your favorite part of today’s Bible story?
What did you learn about God in today’s Bible story?
Who could Peter and John not keep quiet about?
Why does God command Christians to tell others about Jesus? We tell others about Jesus so they will hear and believe in Him.
Elementary Discussion Questions
Do we have to be able to know every question someone has about the Bible to share Jesus with others? Why not?
Discuss how people may ask us questions about the Bible or Jesus that we do not know the answers to. Remind kids that it is OK and that no one knows the answer to every question. Share how God gives us the Holy Spirit to help us know what we can say and guides us to share how people can be saved through faith in Jesus.
Should we stop sharing Jesus if others tell us to be quiet? Why not?
Remind kids how Peter and John were bold in their faith and continued to share about Jesus even when the religious leaders told them to stop. Discuss how the devil and the ways of the world want believers to be quiet because they don’t want people to believe in Jesus. Tell kids that hearing about Jesus is the only way people can believe so we must continue to share the gospel no matter what.
Is sharing the gospel a way we show love to people? Why?
Tell kids that sharing about Jesus is the best way to love others because we want them to be forgiven of sin and live forever. Help kids understand that Peter and John showed they loved all people, even the religious leaders, by giving them a chance to hear the gospel and repent of their sin. Discuss how we share the gospel by telling others about Jesus and by serving others like Jesus has served us. Share how our words and actions can show the love of Jesus.
