Conversation Prompts to Use with younger children:
What makes God so amazing? Why do you think it’s important to live for God and not for ourselves? Have you ever met someone who is really self-centered? What was their personality like?
How have you seen me be self-centered in the past? How have you been self-centered before? Does being self-centered make others happy? Why do you think God wants us to be focused on him instead of ourselves?
Conversation Prompts to use with older children:
Have you ever looked at the personality of someone who you know is fairly self-centered and wondered if they are truly joyful? Why do you think self-centered people are miserable people to be around? Why do you think that kind of person is miserable themselves?
How have you seen me be self-centered in the past? How have you been self-centered before? Does being self-centered make others around you happy? Why do you think God wants us to be focused on him instead of ourselves? Why is God better to be focused on in life instead of ourselves? How can we help each other become more and more in awe of God?
