Discussion Questions: "Praying for Gospel Ministry"

PRAYING FOR GOSPEL MINISTRY

To get the context read Romans 15:14-33. Now focus on verses 30-33.

Discuss some or all of the following questions.

1. How does knowing Christ and the love of the Spirit compel us to pray?
2. Are your prayers for others characterized by earnestness, urgency, and persistence?  If not, why not?
3. To what extent does love for the gospel and for gospel outreach drive your prayers? How can you improve in this area personally and as a Community Group?
4. Do you find yourself needing help but unable to ask for it? What keeps you in isolation and prevents you from asking for help? If God is prompting you, take a step of faith and ask your Community Group for help.
5. Do you feel some of your prayers have not been answered? Have you received answers you did not expect? What light can you shed on your experience?
6. Think through particular hurdles Christian leaders face in your church or group, and pray for these leaders. Commit to one leader at RMCC for the next week.
7. We are now at the end of the sermon series focused on prayer. How has your prayer life changed? Have you seen God answer any prayers?  What one prayer do you have moving forward?
