Elisha's Miracles - Sunday Stories for Families

About this sermon

2 Kings 2-6 - Elisha's Miracles Elisha was God's chosen servant. He demonstrated this through the miracles he performed and through the serious consequences of rejecting him. All this pointed forward to another chosen servant: Jesus. Here are some questions to help you think more about Elisha and about Jesus: 1. What problems were the people of Israel facing? Who did they turn to for help? Why was Elisha able to help them? How did these problems help them to trust God? 2. Are there any problems that you are facing? What do you do when you find yourself in a difficult situation? Who can you ask for help? 3. Why do you sometimes not ask God for help? Is anything too big for God to help you with? Is anything too small to bother him with? Why does asking God for help show that you trust him in all situations? 4. How did the people of Israel know that Elisha was the man that God had chosen to help them? How can we know that Jesus is the man God has chosen to rescue and help us? 5. How should we treat Jesus? Do you believe that he is the man God has chosen? What do your friends/family/neighbours think about Jesus? How do they treat him? 6. What happened to those who rejected and mocked Elisha? What will happen to those who ignore/mock/reject Jesus? When will he come in judgement? Why do you think he doesn’t judge the world now? 7. What do all the miracles that Jesus performed prove about who he is? How did they help/restore/rescue those who trusted in him? What are the consequences of mocking, ridiculing and rejecting Jesus? 8. Give thanks that Jesus’ miracles prove that he is God’s chosen rescuer. Pray that you would rightly honour and obey him.
