Introduction • Luke 11:1-5
Group Discussion Guide
Each Sunday we come together we offer an open invitation into the way of Jesus. An invitation to enter into sacred rhythms - to draw near to God through singing, giving, learning, and praying.
As a community who desires renewal in Des Moines as it is in Heaven, we recognize that we cannot offer what we ourselves do not have. We cannot lead where we ourselves have not been led; in turn, these questions aim at reflection. Reflecting on God’s word and making space for his leadership.
After watching or listening consider the following discussion questions as a large group or in groups of three to four:
What stood out to you from this week’s teaching?
What element of the Lord’s prayer was new for you? Or, what element of the Lord’s prayer had you not considered?
What’s your relationship to prayer?
Did you grow up with prayer (formally, informally, ritual)?
What is it that compels people to pray in moments of intensity (Help! Thanks! Wow!)?
How does Jesus’ prayer disrupt that type of prayer?
