Worship Gathering - Shape UP #1
Focus this Sunday:
This Sunday starts are new sermon series called Shape UP. We will be focusing on the means of grace... how we can grow in the grace of God to be more like Christ. This first week, we focus on the practice of prayer. Is prayer difficult for you? Come and learn about this vital part of the Christian life. What does God have to say to you in this?
Join us Sunday at 10:30am either onsite or online! The link to the online service is on our website at (www.emmettnaz.org) and click on the Link to the Service.
Reflection Questions: (Privately or invite a few friends to discuss!)
1. What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
2. Read Matthew 6:5–13. How does Jesus describe the prayer lives of the pagans? How should the prayer lives of Christ followers be different from the prayer lives of those who don’t believe in him or follow him?
3. Does your prayer life match the description Jesus calls us to pursue? Why or why not?
4. Read Matthew 6:9–14. What about this model prayer do you feel you do well? Where would you like to improve?
5. Who taught you how to pray? Who continues to teach you how to pray?
6. How can we encourage and pray for each other in this?
