1) Read John 12:27-30 - “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine.

2) Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, what blessed you the most? How were you spiritually challenged and encouraged?

3) Pastor Jason noted that Jesus said in verse 30 that God let us hear His conversation with Jesus “for our sake.” Why do you think God wanted us to hear His response to Jesus’ prayer?

4) Can you remember a time when you were so troubled by something in your life that you didn’t know how to pray? What did you do? Was your faith weakened or strengthened?

5) Have you ever faced a situation when you knew that obedience to God would bring negative consequences? What did you choose? What happened? How would you encourage someone facing a similar situation?

6) Read Romans 5:3-5 - Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

7) What wisdom do you gain from Romans 5:3-5?

8) When we trust God through adversity we learn how to comfort others. The Apostle Paul wrote: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body… . So then death worketh in us, but life in you… . For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day” (II Corinthians 4:8, 10, 12, 16).

9) Pray for one another. List prayer requests here:
