Listen "Why didn’t my prayers work?"
Episode Synopsis
Big Ideas - Many of us believe that we are saved by having right theology - We want to have the attitude that, “Things are hard and dark, but they’re being made right.” - We’re just like Peter. - Peter repeatedly denies Jesus. - Jesus’ response is to ask Peter to come pray with him, to give him company in his time of need. - Jesus asks the Father for something he knows he won’t get. - For all our denial, the God of everything gives himself over on your behalf. Questions - Do you feel like prayer “works?” - What do you think God feels about you when you repeatedly deny him? How will he respond? - What do you think about Jesus’ response to Peter? To pull him in closer? - How much security do you place in having right theology? - What do you think about the “infinite pile of crayons” analogy? - Why Did Jesus ask for something he knew he wouldn’t get? - Do you pray like that? - Do you know the feeling of telling God you know he loves you? - Have you felt peace after those desperate prayers? - Does this response of Jesus to Peter change your view of God?
