DECEMBER 8
Read Matthew 6:9-13 slowly, line by line. Discuss as a group what you think each line means, and how you might say it in your own words, in the context of your own life.
Would you say you pray like Jesus taught us to? What needs to be changed in your prayer life to line up with that teaching?
If you were going to teach someone else to pray like Jesus did, what would you tell them?
How are you going to apply this teaching, this week?
Take some time to list prayer requests in the group and take turns praying out loud!
DECEMBER 15
Read Psalm 133:1-3 (NIV) together as a group. Before doing any research, what do you think this passage is trying to convey?
Now, begin to do some googling. Why is the oil on Aaron’s head precious like unity?
What’s up with the “the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion”?
What gets in the way of living in unity?
How can we do more to strive to live together in unity?
Take some time to list prayer requests in the group and take turns praying out loud!
DECEMBER 22
Read Mark 9:22-24. What can we learn about faith from this passage?
Read Matthew 9:18-26. What can we learn from this woman’s faith? How can we have faith like that? What can we learn about Jesus from this passage?
