The Jesus Way to Healthy Prayer and Relationships

November 8, 2009 Speaker: Mike Sciarra

Topic: Matthew: Following The King Passage: Matthew 7:7–7:11

The Jesus Way to Healthy Prayer and Relationships (Matthew 7:7-11)

Discussion Questions:

Read Matthew 7:7-11 together.

  1. What struck you the most from Matt. 7:7-11 and the sermon?
  2. What do you think? Is this a stand alone teaching on prayer? or is it tied closely to the instructions of not judging wrongly (7:1-5a) and exercising wise discernment and evaluation (7:5b-6)?
  3. What is the connection between your relationships and your prayer life?
  4. What helps and hinders prayer most for you?
  5. The key is in knowing what to ask for – wisdom, in the right attitude. How is Solomon a good illustration of this? (Read 2 Chron. 1:8-13).
  6. Read James 4:1-3. How does this connect and apply to Matt. 7:7-11?
