Family Discipleship April Week 3

This weeks memory verse is: 
 I will raise up your off spring after you, ...and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.. (2 Samuel 7:12-13)

Here are a few questions for your family to discuss this week based on the teaching your kids received in class on Sunday. Space these questions out throughout the week and find natural times to bring them up. Use these questions to spark conversation over dinner or on a car ride.

Question One: Have you ever thought about being a king or a queen? What would you do if you were the king or queen of an entire country?

Question Two: Why did the Israelites want a king other than God? Was that a good or a bad choice? Why?

Question Three: How did Saul disobey God's good rules? Whom was Saul trying to please with his choices?

Question Four: Have you ever broken the rules before? What makes us want to break the rules some times?

Question Five: When the Israelites and Saul both rejected God and his rules, did that stop God's good plan for them? What about whey they rejected Jesus and crucified him on the cross?
