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? 
Going Deeper
  • Share a personal experience where a prayer was answered differently than expected. 
    • How did you reconcile your desires with God's plan? What did you learn from that experience?
  • As a group, discuss practical steps for "praying bigger" in your individual and corporate prayer lives. 
    • How can you encourage and support each other in praying with boldness and faith?
Prayer Time  Spend time praying big to your Big God.
Reminder for next week- Read Genesis 1-3
