Chelten - a church of hope Chelten - a church of hope

Discussion Questions • • • Have you experienced someone interceding in prayer for you, and if so, how did it affect your situation or your heart regarding the circumstances you were facing? Daniel's prayer was deeply rooted in the promises and character of God as revealed in Scripture. How can we more effectively incorporate Scripture into our own prayer lives? How does interceding for broader communal or societal issues challenge or change us personally?

"Identifying with Christ" Romans 6:1–11  • • • Discussion Questions Where did you personally connect with something shared in one of the baptism testimonies? What does it look like for you to publicly identify with Christ through your words and actions in the places you live? Work? Play? Where are you tempted to shrink back? How does the Gospel enable and empower you to be a bold witness for Christ?

Discussion Questions How does leaning on the sovereignty of Jesus help you in your suffering? Do you find yourself getting sucked into the idea that you need more control? How can you look like Jesus in those moments? Do we recognize our pride for what it really is? How have you excused your own pride in the past? What does it look like to surrender your pride to Jesus this week? How has God both humbled and exalted you recently?

Discussion Questions Reflect on a time of failed hope and its impact on you. How does this align with the idea that we are "hope-shaped creatures"? What narrative do you often find yourself sharing about your life? Is it a success story, a discovery story, a self-martyr story, or a story of hope and grace? What are some ways you can demonstrate and live out the hope of resurrection through your love for others?
