Elementary Discussion Questions
Can you think of other people in the Bible who trusted in God and were saved from dangerous situations? Who?
Answers will vary. Prompt kids to think about people like Noah, Moses, Rahab, David, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and others who placed their trust in God. Discuss how these people believed in God’s promises and character. Explain that some people like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego believed that even if God did not rescue them from earthly danger, they knew death was not the end.
The church prayed for Peter. Why do we pray?
Tell kids that we pray for many reasons. Discuss how prayer is the way that we call out to God when we are in need, when we want to say we are thankful, or when we want to worship him. Share how God already knows what we pray before we pray it, but prayer helps us remember who God is and our need for him. Remind kids that God loves it when we pray to him.
The church was amazed by Peter’s rescue. When have you been amazed by what God has done?
Answers will vary. Remind kids that nothing is too difficult for God. Help kids understand that God has a plan and purpose for all His actions. Tell kids that God was not done with how He would use Peter to help build His church.
