Big Idea: Trust in the word of God not in the word of man1. Pray when the word of man suppresses God’s word. (v.1-5)2. Remember his word and wait expectantly (v.6-17)3. Trust in the word of God, not man (v.18-24)
Discussion Questions: 1. It is likely the early church prayed before James was executed, yet he was still killed. How might we avoid hopelessness in our prayer in the face of disappointment?
2. Rhoda believes; the prayer meeting doubts. Why is it sometimes hardest to recognize God’s intervention when we’re in the middle of pleading for it?
3. What practical indicators help us discern when we’re seeking God’s glory versus our own? How can we cultivate humility that resists the subtle pull of self-exaltation?
4. Where have you seen God advance His gospel despite opposition—globally, locally, or personally? In light of that track record, what specific step of faith or obedience is He calling you to take this week?
