Elementary Discussion Questions
What caused Saul to change?
Remind kids that Saul did nothing in his own power to change. Discuss how Jesus changed Saul and even though he became physically blind, he truly was to see and believe who Jesus is. Lead kids to remember that we are never too sinful for Jesus to save us. Anyone who trusts in Jesus can be forgiven of their sins and be right with God.
It took courage for Ananias to obey God and go to Saul. How can we have courage to obey God even when it might be hard or scary?
Discuss how God never calls us to do something that isn’t ultimately for our good. Discuss how we can have courage as we trust God’s character and believe that He always wants what is best for us. Tell kids that Ananias had an opportunity to see the power of God and how He can truly save anyone.
How has God changed you? What are ways you can ask God to change you?
Answers will vary. Encourage kids to remember that we are all sinful and that when we trust in Jesus, He does begin to change us. Challenge kids to think about how they need God’s grace to help them be more like Jesus. Invite kids to learn more about how they can be changed through saving faith in Christ.
