TEACHING: Before the Throne, Part 2

We tend to let cultural fears direct our prayers, which can lead to disillusionment and a lack of depth in our prayer life. May we instead be driven to deep prayer by the glorious greatness of Christ.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing from this sermon you found particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to understand?
  2. Read and discuss Ephesians 1:15-20.  What do you see about the nature of man? What do these verses tell you about the nature & person of God?
  3. From these verses, what do you observe about Paul? What is he showing us about prayer?
  4. How does our culture affect how we pray? Are there ways in which this is good, bad or neutral?
  5. What is the “fuel” that drives you to pray? What do you pray most often about?
  6. Have you ever felt disillusioned because of prayer? What happened?
  7. Can you identify a particular fear that tends to dominate your thoughts or prayer life?
  8. How does understanding “the glorious greatness of Christ and the hope of His glory” affect how we pray?
  9. Spend some time in prayer together asking God to enlighten the eyes of your heart (Eph. 1:18) and deepen your desire and ability in the area of prayer.
