Family discussion questions

Use these around the dinner table, in Sunday School, or for companionship study — each comes from this week's chapters.

  1. What ‘armies’ or challenges in your life feel overwhelming right now? How would it change things to know God has even more on your side?
  2. Why do you think God doesn’t always let us see His protection the way Elisha’s servant did?
  3. When has your pride gotten in the way of receiving a blessing God wanted to give you?
  4. Why is full obedience (seven times, not three) so important?
  5. Elisha’s miracles often helped ordinary people with everyday problems (debt, hunger, sickness). What does that teach about what God cares about?
  6. What role did Naaman’s servants play in his healing? How important is it to have people who give us honest counsel?
  7. How is Naaman’s washing in the Jordan similar to baptism?
  8. What ‘simple’ things has God asked you to do that sometimes feel beneath you or too easy to matter?

Sample questions from this week's game

A powerful military commander from a foreign nation had everything — fame, honor, wealth — but he suffered from a terrible skin disease. A servant girl from an enemy nation told him about a prophet who could heal him. He traveled with gifts and letters, but the prophet didn’t even come outside. He just sent a messenger: ‘Go wash in the river seven times.’ The commander was furious at such a simple instruction. But his servants convinced him to try, and when he came up the seventh time, his skin was completely new — like a child’s.

2 Kings 5:1-14

Show answer

Naaman being healed of leprosy by Elisha — Naaman’s story is a powerful lesson about humility and simple obedience. He almost missed his miracle because the prophet’s instruction seemed too easy and too undignified for a man of his status. His wise servants helped him see that the test wasn’t the difficulty of the task but his willingness to obey. After dipping seven times, ‘his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child.’ Simple obedience, great miracle.

You’re a famous general with a terrible disease. A prophet tells you to go wash in a muddy river seven times to be healed. You expected something dramatic and impressive. The river looks gross. What do you do?

2 Kings 5:10-14

Show answer

Humble yourself and obey the prophet’s simple instructions — Naaman’s initial reaction was outrage. He was a powerful, important man, and washing in a mediocre river felt humiliating. But his servants wisely pointed out that if the prophet had asked something dramatic, Naaman would have done it gladly. The real test wasn’t the difficulty of the task — it was Naaman’s willingness to obey when the instruction seemed too simple. Pride almost cost him everything. Humility saved him.
