God Sends the Holy Spirit

Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson, God Sends the Holy Spirit, with your child after they’ve watched the video service!

1. What was your favorite part of the video we just watched? Do you have any questions about what you saw?
2. Before Jesus went to Heaven, what did he tell the disciples to do?
   Stay in Jerusalem and wait for the gift he had promised.
3. What happened while they were waiting in Jerusalem?
   The disciples heard a sound from Heaven then saw flames above each of their heads. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and started speaking in other languages.
4. What were they speaking about in the other languages?
   The wonderful things God has done and said. They were able to share about Jesus with many more people.
5. How can the Holy Spirit help me?
   He can give us boldness to share about Jesus with other people. He is always with us. He helps us remember God’s promises.
6. Do I have to do something special to have the Holy Spirit live in me?
   All you have to do is choose to believe in Jesus and follow Jesus! You accept his free gift of salvation that saves you from your sins. When you do, you automatically receive the Holy Spirit.
7. Think with your child about how they might share Jesus with others and tell them about the great things God has done. Maybe even role-play with them what that might look like!
