SOAP

Luke 14-18 (SOAP Focus Luke 18:1-6)

The One Thing

Pray and don’t give up.

Growgroup questions

Take time to allow each person in the growgroup (split off into smaller groups if the group is too large) to share one of their SOAP passages this week:

• S: what SPECIFIC Bible verse stood out to me?
• O: general OBSERVATION. What is the Bible passage saying?
• A: APPLICATION. How do I apply this to my life?
• P: PRAYER: Write a 1 or 2 sentence prayer, telling God what’s most on my heart and mind today.

Additional questions (if needed) about the Sunday message passage.

Know

• K1 Luke 18:1 Why do you need to hear Jesus’ encouragement to “pray and not give up”? 

Grow

• G1 Dan read humour into Jesus’ telling of the parable in Luke 18:2-4? Do you think this is appropriate? Why or why not?
• G2 Why did Jesus use a negative character in the unjust judge to show what He is NOT like? Why didn’t He use a positive example to show what He IS like?
• G3 How does Luke’s “heart for the outsider” help us read and understand the three passages in Luke 18:1-17?
• G4 Luke 11:8 In what ways do you need to practice “shameless audacity” in your prayer life?
• G5 Dan said that faith is praying with (a) the confidence / perseverance of the widow (b) the humility of the tax collector and (c) the trust of the child? Which of these are you “best” at? Which is a growth area? How can you develop this?
• G6 Luke 18:6. When the Son of Man comes will He find faith in your household? In your life? Talk to Him about this?

Show

• S1 Start asking God to reveal His desire about how you will engage with Cornerstone’s week of prayer and fasting (May 6-11).
