Pastor Jordan | Luke 18:1-17 | Parables on Persistence, Prayer and Pride QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY OR SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION IN YOUR HOMES: Maybe jump on a Zoom call or Facetime with friends and family from church and discuss the passage later on in the week. Here are some questions to spur on further discussion and study. 1. What have you prayed for in your life persistently and you’ve received an answer for? What are you currently praying for while still waiting on an answer? 2. What if the answer to your prayer is “wait until I return” to dispense justice? What if God’s answer to your prayer doesn’t happen in the here and now and actually doesn’t happen until the “Son of Man comes”? -Luke 18:18 3. In what ways do we, in our modern context, act just like the Pharisee in Luke 18:9-12? 4. Summarize the posture and attitude we are to have in relation to God from this chapter? (Condense the parables down to a few characteristics of a true faithful believer.) What does a true believer look like and act like according to Luke 18:1-17? 5. Pray for our church during this uncertain time. The post “Parables on Persistence, Prayer and Pride“ appeared first on HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH.

Luke 16:14-31 Q1: What is the kingdom of God? Why Would it be important we understand and preach the kingdom of God? (vs.16) Q2: As a group come up with as many role reversals as you can in the passage. (Reversals could include details, characters, positions, appearance, contrasts, etc.) Q3: In what ways is Jesus the watershed for the Bible and all of time? What are some other major watershed moments in the Bible? Q4: Why do you think Luke 16:18 is included in this chapter? Does it seem out of place to you or how can you make sense of its inclusion? Q5: Discuss the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Can you summarize the main point Jesus is teaching through the parable? The post “Rich or Poor” appeared first on HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH.
Luke 16:1-13 Q1: Review the storyline of the dishonest parable? What questions do you have about the parable? Why do you think some say it can be challenging to understand? How do you understand it? Q2: How can a mindset for the future or lack thereof influence our management of wealth, time and money? Does the here and now really influence our future destination (eternal dwelling vs. 8)? Q3: What different applications can we draw out from this parable (1-13)? Can you summarize it all with one major conclusion from it all? Q4: In what ways do we serve money and how instead could we serve God with our money? Q5: Now quickly examine/scan the rest of chapter 16. How do the next verses 14-31 generally add what Jesus has been teaching so far? Why do you think Luke would have put all these parables and teachings the order he did? What major themes is he trying to communicate to us in chapter 15-16? The post “God or Money” appeared first on HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH.
