SMALL GROUPS
Small Groups
God designed us with relationships in mind. Small Groups provide a place where we can connect to others, care for each other, and grow in our faith. Don’t do life alone - join or lead a small group.

SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Updated Weekly
Ancient Paths | Week 2
1. Redefining Prayer: 68% of Christians feel their prayer life is inconsistent or ineffective. How do you personally define a "successful" prayer life, and how might that differ from the perspective of prayer being a "path you walk" rather than just an activity?
2. The Example of Jesus: Even with his busy ministry, Jesus often withdrew to pray. What are the biggest distractions or barriers that keep you from withdrawing to pray, and what practical steps can you take to prioritize that connection with the Father?
3. Prayers of Lament: Why is it sometimes difficult to be authentic with God about our struggles?
4. ACTS Framework: We explored the ACTS acronym: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Which of these four areas is naturally the easiest for you, and which one do you find yourself skipping or rushing through most often?
