Praying Earnestly for Others

Sermon Discussion Questions

1. How do we see Paul’s love for the people of God in these verses? Do we have that same type of love for other believers? What are some things that tend to diminish our love for those in the Church? What are some things that help our love to grow?

2. Read 1 Thessalonians 3:9-10. How are these verses similar to what we’ve read in other passages in this series? Is there anything that is different?

3. Discuss the connection between a loving community and a holy community (as we see in verses 12-13). How have you seen this be true in your own life? How can our community grow in our love and holiness?

4. Do we pray with passion and purpose? How can we grow in this? Spend some

time earnestly praying for others.
