DRL Ministries - ISU

The life group passage to open up this week is 2 Tim. 2:1-13.  Here are some discussion questions…

1.  Why does Paul call Timothy his child (v.1)?  Who is your “father” in the sense Paul was Timothy’s?  Do you have any “spiritual offspring”?

2.   What were Paul’s instructions to Timothy in v.2?  What kind of people was Timothy to carry out these instructions with?  Do you fit this criteria?  Is there anyone in your sphere of influence right now that you could be carrying out these instructions with?

3.  Read v. 3-6.  What 3 types of people are compared here?  What do the three of these have in common?  How can these be compared to the Christian life?

4.  How is man’s responsibility and God’s grace and enablement pictured in v. 7?  Can you think of other specific ways God “partners” with us to live out the Christian life?

5.  What is Paul’s command in v. 8?  Within the context of v. 9, why might this command be especially important?

Be encouraged in the victory Jesus has won for us this week!  And encourage one another!
