DISCUSSION
Life App: Patience—Waiting until later for what you want now
Bible Story: Can’t Hardly Wait (Esau’s Impatience) • Genesis 25:24-34
Key Question: What could you miss out on by not waiting?
Bottom Line: If you don’t wait, it could cost you.
Basic Truth: I am loved by God, no matter what, so I can trust God to guide me.
Memory Verse: Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don’t lose hope. Wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14 (NIrV)
Ask the following questions:
- Why do you think waiting is SO hard for everybody, adults included?
- What are some situations you really want to do better at when it comes to waiting with a good attitude?
- What could you miss out on by not waiting in the situations you just named?
- We will all face BIG, LONG WAITS as well as SMALL, SHORT WAITS. Both require patience. Name some situations kids your age feel are huge and hard to wait for.
- What are some that are smaller but seem just as hard?
- What would you tell someone who wants to wait wisely in both the big and small situations?
