Discussion Questions

Three general questions for digging deeper:

  • What does this text teach us about God?
  • What does this text teach us about ourselves?
  • If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?

Questions specific to the October 12 sermon from John:

  1. Do you believe that there can be real power in your praying?  Why or why not?
  2. Jesus lays out conditions for the kinds of prayer that He delights to answer. What do these conditions mean for our praying?
    • Prayer in the name of Jesus.
    • Prayer to bear fruit.
    • Prayer for true joy in fellowshipping with Jesus.
  3. The conditions appear to describe that the core of all praying is praying for the Father’s glory to be extended and deepened. How can you keep this in focus as you prayer?
  4. When John says that the Father may be glorified in the Son, what is the foundation of that reality?  How does this help you pray?
