Freedom Kids Rooted In Christ

Week 2 conversation

BIG IDEA: God listens to our requests.
BIBLE: 1 Kings 3:1–15; Proverbs 22:1–2, 8–9, 22–23
CONVERSATION:
What did Solomon ask God for? Wisdom.

Why did Solomon ask for wisdom instead of other things like riches and honor?
He wanted to serve God's people well, he knew he was young and needed help governing the people.

What was God's response to Solomon's request?
God was pleased with Solomon. God gave him great wisdom and even blessed him with more than he asked for.

Read Proverbs 22:1–2.
How do these words written by Solomon show that God listened to his request for wisdom?

What are some things that we can ask God for?

What do you think it means if God doesn't give us something we request?

How can we be sure God always listens to us?

BIG IDEA: God asks us to help each other.
BIBLE: Elisha and The Widow's Oil: 2 Kings 4:1-7;

Galatians 6:1-10 CONVERSATION:
• What was the problem the widow needed help with? A creditor wanted to take away her two sons as payment for her late husband's debts.
• Where did the widow get the jars for the oil? The widow's neighbors helped her by giving her their empty jars.
• What did God do with all the empty jars they had collected? Filled them with oil from the widow's small jar, which didn't stop flowing until all the jars were full.
• Read Galatians 6:2. What do you think it means to "carry each other's burdens"?
Possible answers: We help each other out with whatever they're going through. When someone shares their feelings or worries with you, you listen, love them, and help them if you can.
• Do you find it easy or difficult to help others? Why?
• What special skill or talent do you have that could be helpful to someone else?
• What is one way (big or small) that you can help someone else today?
