We invite you to join us every Wednesday evening for the next few weeks either in person or online for our Wednesday Night Bible study. The next few weeks, we are looking at some Powerful Prayers in the Scriptures. This week on April 29th, we are looking at Genesis 18:16-33, and using the following questions to guide our study and discussions:
Questions
1. What part of this story do you find most curious about this prayer? Why?
2. Do you think God knows how many righteous people are in Sodom? What do you make of the language suggesting that God must "go and see"? What does God know about our prayers?
3. What is the basis of Abraham's appeal to God? What should we learn from this and apply to our prayers?
4. Does Abraham's prayer change anything in regard to the outcome of the coming judgment? What is the value is this dialog with God? What does this suggest about the value of our own prayers?
5. What is the value of interceding for the salvation of others when we have little influence over the outcome?
6. Did you notice Abraham’s attitude and demeanor towards God? What was it? Do we carry the same when we talk to God? If not, what is different, and why?
