The Jesus Way to Healthy Prayer and Relationships
Speaker: Mike Sciarra Topic: Matthew: Following The King Passage: Matthew 7:7–7:11
The Jesus Way to Healthy Prayer and Relationships (Matthew 7:7-11)
Discussion Questions:
Read Matthew 7:7-11 together.
- What struck you the most from Matt. 7:7-11 and the sermon?
- What do you think? Is this a stand alone teaching on prayer? or is it tied closely to the instructions of not judging wrongly (7:1-5a) and exercising wise discernment and evaluation (7:5b-6)?
- What is the connection between your relationships and your prayer life?
- What helps and hinders prayer most for you?
- The key is in knowing what to ask for – wisdom, in the right attitude. How is Solomon a good illustration of this? (Read 2 Chron. 1:8-13).
- Read James 4:1-3. How does this connect and apply to Matt. 7:7-11?
