Icebreaker:
- Where is your favorite place to pray and why?
Sermon Discussion – 1 John 5:13-15
- What specifically stands out to you about these verses and why?
- If prayer is supposed to be a part of a Christian’s life, then why don’t we pray more?
- How does your answer to the above question impact what you pray for?
- Look up John 15:7: How can a believer know whether their requests are being made in accordance with the will of the Father?
Going Deeper – 1 John 5:16-21
- When you see a fellow believer sinning, what other actions do we sometimes take before we remember to pray for our brother or sister? Why is this so?
- What does praying do that nothing else can do?
- In what ways can we pray for our brothers and sisters when we see their battle with sin?
- Describe in your own words what you think John means when he says in verse 16: “There is a sin that leads to death, I am not telling you to pray about that”.
- Was there anything God spoke to you or that He might be calling you to in your life after the message this week?
Prayer
- What has been the most important thing God has taught you during the 1 John series and how can we pray for you to build from that?
