This Week at Crossroads I 2.17.23

WHAT IS CORPORATE WORSHIP
Throughout history, there have been times when God’s people came together and prayed, and then God showed up and responded. This series looks at biblical accounts of times that prayer changed things.  This week we' will explore what happens when God’s people pray.

SCRIPTURE TEXTS  
Acts 1:14-26

HUDDLE/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
  1.  What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
  2. What does praying for wisdom look like for you?
  3. What are some situations in your life in which you need(ed) God’s wisdom? What did you do?
  4. Retrospectively, is there a time when you prayed for wisdom, and you now realize God answered that prayer?
  5. Why should we pray corporately for wisdom?
