Challenge:

1. Read together the passage in 2 Tim 3, Share with the group your thoughts on why you think Paul says “Timothy you should know this”? Why must he know this is going to happen? How is that helpful? How would you feel getting that news?
2. Bryce talked about 3 temptations from the enemy, take some time to discuss each one and how we should understand what they are – To be – To feel – to Have – How do you feel each of these are represented in your world? Where do you see them coming into your home or family context?
3. There were 3 offers from the Lord mentioned, take some time to talk through each one and how we are to understand them – Love (Agapone) – Integrity – Generosity – Could you be so bold and share how these are harder to live out than the others on offer?
4. Lets talk action! Who is getting influenced by a servant this week in your world? Who came to mind that you realized maybe didn’t see these things in the way you have been living? Share this with the group and pray for one another
5. What Temptation is that one that you need to be most on guard with and moving away from? Where are these temptations showing up and when? Share this also if possible, and take time to pray for one another.

Clarify:

Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?

Celebrate:
Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

Through the Bible in one Year

Join us in reading through the entire Bible in one year. Each day of this plan guides you through passages from both the Old and New Testaments, allowing you to see connections between the history of our faith, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Readings average four chapters in length, so it is posible to do. When you use the YouVersion Bible App, you can even have the app read the Bible text to you – very useful when you are in the car or otherwise occupied with your hand.

All you need to do is click the link to the Bible Plan, which should lead you straight to the Bible app. Your two options are now (1) to read the plan on your own, one day at the time. Or (2) you can make it more fun and rewarding, by sharing the plan with one or more friends, and then even “Talk about it”.
