Family Discipleship August Week 4

This weeks memory verse is: 
 You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 
 (Exodus 20:4)

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: When is it difficult to obey your parents?  

Question Two: Where were Daniel and his three friends living in the story? What rule did Nebuchadnezzar make for them to follow? Do you think God liked what Nebuchadnezzar was doing?

Question Three: What do the first two commandments tell us about God? What did Shacrach, Meshach, and Abednego decide to do?

Question Four: What was the punishment the men faced for obeying God's command and disobeying Nebuchadnezzar's command?

Question Five: When God rescued Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, did they still die from the flames? How was Jesus's rescue different? What does it mean for you and me that God rescued Jesus by raising him from the dead?
