SETTING IT UP

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man (or woman) of God
may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, ESV)
Ask yourselves the following questions as you read this week’s Bible passages.
How is God: 1) teaching me something? 2) telling me to stop doing something I
am doing?
3) correcting some wrong thinking or behavior? 4) preparing me to live more
effectively for him?
DIGGING DEEPER
1. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, what particularly
caught your attention, encouraged, challenged or confused you?
2. What makes the above response important to you?
3. Is there something in this sermon and/or biblical passages that surprised you?
If so, how were you surprised?
4. What helped you see more of Jesus and his cross, or moved you to love him
more?
TAKING IT HOME
5. Looking back over this week’s sermon and study guide, what’s the most
important thing for you to remember and put into action?
6. We multiply the riches when we read and share the Bible together. How can
you share the joy, peace, and conviction you’ve been given by God with others?
7. At Cold Spring Church we talk about our “One More…” that person, who may
be far from God, whom He has placed in our life to pray for, care for and share
with. What can you do this week for this particular person in your life?
