Worship

Listen to a Worship song (If you need suggestions, you can use one from the YouTube Playlist for this week) or express something that you are thankful to God for.

Welcome

• Check In – How is everyone doing (good things, lessons learned, prayers answered)?

Word

• Do you have any athletic or academic achievements?
• Read 2 Timothy  2:3-7
• Which illustration that Paul uses resonates the most with you? Why?
• What are the key lessons Paul is trying to express to Timothy?
• How can we “compete according to the rules” without becoming overly legalistic?
• What is something that you need to apply from this lesson

Witness

Jesus used the farmer illustration to talk about the harvest (seeing people come to Jesus).  How can we be a part of the harvest? (particularly in light of recent negative feelings toward the church)

Prayer

Pray for unity in our country and the church.  Pray for our family members and friends that do not know Christ.  Pray for any other concerns that your group has.
