Final Sunday of 1 Timothy: The Blueprints for Life Together as God's Family
Discussion Questions for Community Groups, Family Devotionals and Personal Discipleship
Ice Breaker Questions
This wee we finished up our Summer series in the book of 1 Timothy. What have been some of the most helpful and/or challenging passages and truths you've learned in 1 Timothy?
Wartime Mentality: Fighting the Good Fight (1 Tim 6:11-16) - Paul calls Timothy to fight the good fight by fleeing from wickedness and pursuing righteousness. Repentance isn't just feeling bad but turning from sin. The theologians often called the process of change mortifying sin and vivifying righteousness. When we apply these truths to our own life, what do we need to flee from and what do we need to pursue? What do we need to feed and what do we need to starve? What do I need to run from and what do I need to run to? John Owen's famously wrote that Christians need to be killing sin or sin will kill us. How does your sin kill you? What's at stake in avoiding the spiritual fight in your life? What are you fighting and what are you not fighting?
Wartime Simplicity: Be Rich in the Right Way (1 Tim 6:17-19) - Do you think of yourself as being rich? Why or why not? How can wealth make us haughty, arrogant and proud? In what ways can we put our hope in the uncertainty of riches? What blessings has God given to you in your life and how can you share them with others? Who will you share something with this week? How can you cultivate a heart of generosity towards others?
Wartime Endurance: Guard the Truth that Leads to Life (1 Tim 6:20-21) - What blessings, opportunities, resources, and relationships has God entrusted to you and how do you need to guard these things? What's at stake in not guarding the things we've been entrusted with? What irreverent babble and false knowledge do we need to avoid? How does irreverent babble and false knowledge cause some to swerve away from the Christian faith? How can we guard against false knowledge and avoid irreverent babble in our own lives? What ways can we be praying for each other this week to apply what we've learned in godly obedience and love.
