Scripture: James 5:7-20

Message: “The Prayer of Faith”

1. Are you a “Pooh” or an “Eeyore” when it comes to prayer for healing? Why?

2. Historically, there are several understandings of “anointing with oil.”

a. Medicinal (see Lk 10:34)
b. Pastoral (think of Jesus using mud)
c. Sacramental (vehicle of Divine power)
d. Symbolic (of being set aside for prayer)

Discuss these (or others, or combinations of these). Don’t forget: we all “see through a glass dimly.”

3. What troubles you right now? What causes you to sing for joy? Is there any illness or “dis-ease” for which we as a group can pray (right now)?

4. Scripture frequently exhorts us to sing praise to God. If you are not a musical person, when and how do you do this?

Adult Sunday School– November 16, 2008

Discussion Seeds

Scripture: James 4:13 - 5:6

Message: “Business without Boasting”

1. Tell about a time when you made plans which did turn out. What different plan did the Lord have?

2. “That a businessman pays a worker less wages than the worker feels he deserves is not exploitation, as the worker is free to leave his job and look elsewhere for a higher paying one, if he thinks that someone can give him a better job for a better wage.” This is a quote from www.capitalism.org. Comment in light of James 5:4-5.

3. Do you agree with Pastor Dave’s statement that James 4:13-17 and 5:1-6 have different audiences? Why or why not? (Please feel free to disagree!)

4. If you feel comfortable doing so, share a situation in your life in which you are waiting to see the Lord bring good out of evil, beauty out of ashes, good out of evil, etc.
