Small Group Guide: 
Greater Works | The Amens of Jesus | Part 4

Opening Prayer

Sermon Overview:
This week we closed out The Amens of Jesus series by looking at Jesus’ powerful promise in John 14:12–14. Jesus declared that anyone who believes in Him will do the same works He did—and even greater works. This promise includes miracles, healing, and ultimately the greatest miracle of all: salvation and new life in Christ. While this promise is available to every believer, Jesus also gives us the pathway to see it fulfilled—prayer. Greater works don’t happen randomly; they are the result of a prayer-filled life aligned with God’s will. When our lives are centered on God’s glory and we pray in Jesus’ name, we step into the authority and access He has given us to see God move powerfully.

Key Takeaways:
1. Jesus made a bold promise – Every believer is invited to participate in the works of God.

2. Miracles are still possible – Healing, freedom, and transformation are not just biblical stories—they are for today.

3. The greatest work is salvation – Being born again is the greatest miracle we will ever experience.

4. Prayer is the pathway – Greater works require greater prayer.

5. God moves where people pray – Every move of God throughout Scripture and history was preceded by prayer.

6. Our prayers must align with God’s glory – What we ask should reflect a life centered on Him.

7. We pray in Jesus’ name, not our own – Our access to God is based on what Jesus has done, not what we have done.

Discussion Questions:
1. What stood out to you most about Jesus’ promise that we would do “greater works”?

2. Why do you think we don’t always see miracles and breakthroughs to the level we read about in Scripture?

3. How does understanding that salvation is the “greatest work” shift your perspective?

4. Why is prayer essential if we want to see God move in powerful ways?

5. If you looked at your prayers from the past week, what would they reveal about what’s at the center of your life?

6. What does it practically look like to pray for God’s glory rather than just personal comfort or desires?

7. What does it mean to truly pray “in Jesus’ name” beyond just saying the phrase?

8. Where in your life do you need to start believing God for more—more faith, more prayer, or more expectation?

Practical Applications:
Choose at least one of the following this week:

Prioritize Prayer: Set aside intentional time each day to pray—not just routine prayers, but bold prayers for God to move.

Pray for Greater Works: Ask God specifically for opportunities to see Him work through your life—whether through sharing the Gospel, praying for someone, or serving others.

Align Your Motives: Evaluate your prayers and ask: “Does this bring glory to God?” Adjust your focus if needed.

Pray in Jesus’ Name: Approach God with confidence—not based on your performance, but on what Jesus has done.

Closing Thought:
“Greater works don’t come from greater effort—they come from greater dependence on God through prayer.”

Remember: The promise is still true today: God wants to move, heal, save, and transform lives. But the pathway is clear—prayer. When we center our lives on God’s glory and come to Him in Jesus’ name, we step into the authority and access He has already given us.
