A study on Hosea 4-6

You’ll be helped in this study by taking time to pick up on the accompanying sermon Learn what this means!

  1. We took an overview of three chapters this week and reading the whole of the text before divining in to study might be a challenge. Instead after seeking the Lord in prayer, take the approach we took in the service and read through a section then ponder on and discuss:
    1. what was going on;
    2. what was the Lord saying to the original hearers and why;
    3. where is the application for us today.
  2. Read Matthew 9: 9-13 discuss verse 13 – why is it important for us to do what Jesus commands there?

    1. what are they;
    2. when roughly do they fall;
    3. what was the original purpose of each one and what were, or will be, the eventual fulfilments for each;
    4. which have yet to be fulfilled?
  2. What was the effect of God pouring out His Spirit?
  3. Why don’t we see God doing this today?
  4. What were the believers doing before the Holy Spirit came (cf. Acts 1:14)

Prayer – take it or leave it…

You’ll be helped in this study by taking time to pick up on the accompanying sermon Not an optional extra

Acts 1:12-14

  1. What does it mean they all met together and were constantly united in prayer? How does this compare to the prayer life of New Connexions (please spend some time in honest discussion on this)?

Acts 4:23-31

  1. What does it mean that God is sovereign – how should this affect our prayer life?
  2. What Psalm did they quote and what were the main points in their prayer?
  3. How can we use the Bible in our prayer life? Can you give any examples of how you have used the bible to aid your prayer life?
  4. Describe the likely outcome of a life led by a Christian who doesn’t prioritise prayer – how does this contrast with a life led in obedience to God?
  5. What lessons have you learnt from this study that could aid your prayer?
