Discussion Ideas: Miracles
Discussion starter
Read through any of the following stories with your students, before using the questions to promote discussion and deep thinking:
- This news story from the BBC contains dramatic CCTV footage of a man hit by a truck. Against the odds, he survived and finds a new appreciation of his life.
- Or read here about a US clergyman cured of a chronic back complaint after praying to 19th Century Catholic theologian Cardinal Newman.
- This news story features a former Miss Ireland who says that God healed her from cancer.
Some questions for discussion:
- What is your response to these stories? Are they miracles or is it just luck?
- Do you know any other stories that are difficult to explain?
- Have you ever had something happen to you that is unexplained? Or do you know anybody who has had a similar experience?
- What effect might stories like these have on somebody’s perspective on life or faith?
Miracles- This short film retells a famous miracle from Jesus' ministry, when he brought a young girl back to life.
