Elementary Discussion Questions
What do Peter’s miracles remind you of?
Prompt kids to remember Jesus’ miracles that He performed when He was on earth. Tell kids that like Jesus, Peter was able to demonstrate God’s power over sickness and death. Remind kids that Peter’s power didn’t come from himself but from the Holy Spirit who dwelt within him.
Why do you think people trusted in Jesus after Peter performed these miracles?
Answers will vary. Discuss how the miracles of healing and raising someone from the dead help show that the truth of the gospel is real. Explain how the message of the gospel teaches us that God has power over sin and death. Tell kids that just as the Holy Spirit gave Peter power to perform the miracles, He also worked in people’s hearts to help them believe.
How can these stories help you trust God?
Answers will vary. Encourage kids to remember that all of the stories of the Bible are true. Remind kids that these stories point to an even greater display of God’s power through Jesus, who lived a perfect life, died in our place, and rose from the dead. Invite kids to ask questions or initiate an invitation to learn more about how they can trust in Jesus as Savior.

Question 30: What is faith in Jesus Christ?
Answer: Receiving and resting on him alone for salvation as he is offered to us in the gospel.
Question 31: What do we believe by true faith?
Answer: We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
