After the fig-tree sign, Jesus uses mountain-moving language for confident prayer and joins faith with forgiveness before the Father.
Discuss
Listen carefully to what Jesus says.
- What does Jesus command?
- What does this passage reveal about Him?
- Where do we resist this command?
- What is difficult or unclear?
- How can bold faith avoid becoming confidence in our own desired outcome or words?
Practice
Choose one specific act of obedience.
Bring one seemingly immovable concern to God daily, ask clearly, take any faithful action available, and release personal vengeance toward anyone involved.
Return
Come back and discuss what happened.
What did bold prayer and forgiveness change in you, even if the circumstance has not yet moved?
Close together
Pray. Then prepare to teach.
Pray
God, our faith is in you. Teach us to ask boldly, forgive honestly, and trust your power and wisdom with the outcome.
Teach
Do not present these verses as a mechanism guaranteeing every request; keep faith directed toward God and prayer within Jesus' wider teaching.
