Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for Reflection:
1. Have you implored Jesus for a miracle? What was the outcome?
2. Are you resenting God for any unanswered prayers? If so, why? What can you do to be reassured of God’s goodness? Who can you talk to?
Questions for Discussion:
1. What has God promised us? Has he broken his promises if He does not answer our prayers? When will we receive the fullness of God’s promises, and what will that look like?
2. How do you balance the hope of a good and powerful God with the knowing that miracles are not the norm?
