Dawn is Coming // Betrayal

Group Discussion & Life Challenge

Use these notes as discussion prompts for your group, or in your personal time with God.

Connect:

Get to know each other. Connect, warm up to each other, fellowship.

Care:

Carry each other’s burdens. Share life’s challenges and practice Soul Care. Pray together.

Challenge:

1. Where do you go to pray? What do you like about Jesus’ choice and location for prayer?
2. Why do we find it hard to pray with people? Or, why would someone not ask people to pray for them in their hard times? Give some examples of excuses we might make and why they are used?
3. What character could you most easily relate to as you read this passage, and why? A Disciple asleep? A Disciple betraying? A Disciple Running away? A Disciple in Anger and a sword? Or someone else?
4. What does the Bible tell us that prayer does? Turn to these passages and discuss how this informs us on prayer. (Matthew 21:12 – 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Matthew 6:9-13 James 5:13-16)
5. What one thing could you ask your group to pray for that you have not brought up before?
6. As Jesus models this preparatory time of Prayer, how might that inspire you in your prayer life to be different this week?

Clarify:

Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?

Celebrate:
Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

Through the Bible in one Year

Join us in reading through the entire Bible in one year. Each day of this plan guides you through passages from both the Old and New Testaments, allowing you to see connections between the history of our faith, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Readings average four chapters in length, so it is posible to do. When you use the YouVersion Bible App, you can even have the app read the Bible text to you – very useful when you are in the car or otherwise occupied with your hand.

All you need to do is click the link to the Bible Plan, which should lead you straight to the Bible app. Your two options are now (1) to read the plan on your own, one day at the time. Or (2) you can make it more fun and rewarding, by sharing the plan with one or more friends, and then even “Talk about it”.
