Discussion Questions:

1. Can you share a time when you felt that your prayers remained unanswered despite your faith? How did it affect your trust in God?
2. The sermon highlighted that specific situations in the Bible are not promises for every situation. How can we reconcile our expectations of God with the reality that not all prayers are answered in the way we hope?
3. The sermon emphasized that faith is about trust without strings attached. What does this mean to you? How can we practice this kind of faith in our daily lives?
4. Discuss the idea presented that “God sees the entire picture while we only see our tiny corner.” How can this perspective help you in moments of doubt or frustration regarding your circumstances?
5. The sermon suggested that sometimes our mountains are there to help us grow spiritually. What are some ways you believe God might be using challenges in your life to draw you closer to Him?
6. How can you allow your “light to shine” during difficult times or when you feel your mountains aren’t moving? Can you think of a specific situation where you could implement this idea?
7. In light of the sermon, how can our small group support one another in trusting God through challenging times? What prayer support can we offer each other?
