More Apologetics for Preteens!

If you read my last post about these "Preteen Apologetics" you might already understand how to use these questions, if you haven't--no worries! It's very easy to do!

Basically, you will want to challenge your class to answer each question with their own opinion, but they must support it with any Bible verse they think applies to that situation. It is super fun and be sure to encourage every answer (be weary of your reactions to their ideas, it is important to encourage and gently instruct each preteen toward what God has placed on your heart to teach) and find a way to make connections to the question, or just compliment them on their passion and enthusiasm to participate!

My favorite motto throughout these "apologetics" is this:

There's What I Think, there's What You Think, and there's What God Knows.


1.) As Christians, will everyone else want to hear about salvation through Jesus?
- Matthew 24:9     - 1 Peter 2:11     - Matthew 28:19

2.) What kind of things should a Christian think about?
- Philippians 2:17

3.)  What if you had a teacher that is a great person, knows the Bible very well, but does not choose to live out what they teach, what Bible verse could you use to explain if their behavior is good or bad?
- James 1:22

4.) Are Christians more righteous (better) than non-believers?
- Romans 3:9, 21-24     - Matthew 5:6

5.) Will God ever ask you to do something hard?
- Hebrews 11:7,17,23,29,30 (there's a lot of examples here!)

And of course there are probably many, many more answers to these questions (the preteens usually come up with many more verses than I think of). I hope this short lesson, is fun for you and your class (remember to bring some fun treats to pass out when they answer a question correctly!).
Be blessed!
