DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What would be the worst kind of regret to have at the end of your life? What steps can you take now to avoid such regrets?
2. The sermon discussed personal “mountains” we face. What mountain are you currently dealing with? How have you approached it so far, and what changes could you make to address it more actively?
3. God prepared David to fight Goliath. Can you identify specific experiences in your life that have prepared you for current challenges?
4. What does the sermon suggest about the balance between prayer and taking action? Can you share a time when you felt compelled to act after praying?
5. Goliath mocked David before their battle. Have you ever experienced a mountain mocking you?
6. What are some “stones” – or actionable steps – you can pick up to confront your mountains? How can prayer guide you in identifying these steps?
7. How can your small group support one another in confronting personal mountains and avoiding regrets? What practical steps can you take together?
8. The sermon ends with an invitation to pray together. Please do this with your group.
