2 Timothy 2:1-10

April 2, 2019 • Paula Thorp

Paul writes that by God's strength we are called to be soldiers of the cross who are not distracted by the things of this world. We are also instructed to compete as atheletes who run this race of life well in order to win an eternal prize. The final example Paul gives us in this section of Scriptiure is to work diligently as famers as we patiently await a harvest. Soldiers, athletes and farmers are all "doers." Join us for this section of 2 Timothy and learn how you too can be a "doer" of the Word.

Discussion Questions:

1.) Are you teaching or helping others in their faith? If not, why?

2.) Read James 1:22-25. We are instructed to go beyond just listening to the Word to being "doers" of the Word. What does it look like to be a "doer" of the Word? Are there any areas of your life where you know what you're commanded to do, but aren't doing it? How can you repent and begin walking in obedience?

3.) What does it look like to be a soldier of the cross?

4.) What does it look like to be a "spiritual athlete?"

5.) What does it look like to be a "farmer" as described in this section of Scripture?

6.) Think through each of the above roles. What are the spiritual parallels of being a soldier, athlete or farmer?
