As you watch the sermon, keep in mind these discussion questions to dive deeper!
Lord Teach Us To Pray
Week 2 — 1 The. 1:4-10; 3:1-13
General Questions:
- How would you describe your prayer life?
- How do you attempt to get "caught up to speed" in a conversation that has already started without you, or try to figure out the plot in a movie that you started watching after it began?
- Are you a net-net conversationalist (without attention to much detail) or are you determined to address every fine point? How do you determine what's most important in a particular topic/conversation?
Take Home 1: Prayer helps us to learn to be thankful for all our brothers and sisters in Christ (1 The. 3:9)
- What are you thankful for?
- Who are you thankful for?
- What keeps you from being thankful for all of our brothers & sisters in Christ (not just those who are like you)?
- Do you see the importance of the body of Christ? Why or why not?
Take Home 2: Prayer helps us to formulate a robust theology of suffering (1 The. 3:3)
- What is your response when you experience affliction or suffering?
- Do you associate joy with suffering & affliction?
- Do you see yourself as being “destined for suffering” for Christ? How does this help you to better understand how to deal with suffering?
Take Home 3: Prayer forges in us a genuine love for our brothers and sisters and those around us (1 The. 3:12)
- How would you describe the way you view others around you?
- How would you describe the way you treat others around you?
Take Home 4: Prayer is a catalyst for personal holiness that anticipates the coming of the Lord (1 The. 3:13)
- What does your personal testimony look like? Is it more verbal or is it more your lifestyle?
- How do others know that you are a follower of Jesus?
- Who is holding you accountable to be more Christ-like; to be bolder in your faith; to deal with affliction in your life with joy?
- “Prayer really does change us.” – How might this change the way you pray
