CONVERSATION STARTERS
Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. These prompts have been designed to help Community Groups grow in their relationship with God, with one another, and with their neighbors. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource to you. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.

1) What stood out to you from the sermon?

2) The sermon emphasized the fact that because God is a good Father, He loves to be asked. But so many of us fail to do even that; to just ask. What stops you from “asking” God for things in prayer?

3) This parable challenges us to pray simply and expectantly. Which do you find more difficult, to pray simply or to pray expectantly? Why?

4) What are some recent examples in your life where God answered your prayers? What are some examples of your need to continue to persist in prayer?
