“One Life” 2 Timothy 1:8-10 Rev. Randy Mayfield

Sermon Discussion Questions

1) Sermon quote: “We have been brought from death to life, do we live out of that truth?” Can you give some examples?

2) As believers we are sent out to be Christ’s witnesses. What enables this calling? What is the source of this new life?

3) What does living with a purpose look like in our daily lives?

4) Quote: “The only thing that Christianity can’t be is moderately important.” CS Lewis Reflect and discuss. Do we realize that Jesus calls us to give (100%) of our lives for Him? How does that impact our daily interaction with others, ourselves and His world in light of this?

5) The Holy Spirit works and calls people to Himself, a lot of times through our relationships. Has this been your experience? Who did God use in your life to draw you to Himself?

Seven Tips For Staying On Track

1. Read through the Bible together with other people.

2. There will be some passages that you may not find interesting and / or difficult to read. Remember 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as you read these passages: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be equipped for every good work." Ask yourself why God spoke this particular passage, and how it is profitable to you.

3. Do the whole reading for each day, but look for a "best thought" for each day - something you can ponder the rest of the day, a verse to memorize, something memorable.

4. As you come the Word each morning, ask God to open your eyes to the wonders found in his word.

5. Let your prayers for others flow out of what you read. Pray and read Scripture. After you read a passage, pray that passage for yourself and for others.

6. Some readings will be long and some short. Take advantage of shorter passages by reading them carefully, reflecting, asking questions, praying for answers, engage.

7. Look for ways you can practically live out what you're reading. James 1:22, "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."
