GROW GROUP QUESTIONS Announcement: MEN, we have the Men's Breakfast coming up on Saturday, May 4th (8:30-10). Talk about this! Save the date and come together! Register together here! Icebreaker: As a child, did you have something you regularly prayed for? Sermon Discussion - James 5:13-20
The sermon discusses four kinds of prayer: individual prayer, elder prayer, intercessory prayer, and Elijah- like prayer.
Is there one of these that you find most challenging in your own spiritual life? Most rewarding?
How does knowing that Elijah was "just like us" impact your view of prayer and your own relationship with God?
What is the difference between "praying big" and "praying small?"
Have you found yourself leaning more toward one type of prayer over the other? Why do you think that is?
How can we discern whether our prayers are aligned with God's will and purposes?
