Know
K1 Timbiebs. Your opinion: good or bad?

Grow
G1 1 Timothy 6:7-10 | How is developing contentment like “clearing the ground”?
G2 1 Timothy 6:11-16 | How is godliness like building a house? What are the four walls of this house? (note the action commands in verse 11 and 12).
G3 | 1 Timothy 6:11-16 | Which of the four walls is God calling you to obey Him in building right now?
G4 1 Timothy 6:11-16 | What are the 6 windows in the “Wall of Pursue”? (verse 11). In what way can these 6 characteristics act like windows in our lives?
G5 1 Timothy 6:11-16 | Which of these 6 windows have become dirty in your life? Speak to God about it.
G6 1 Timothy 6:17-20 | Why is instructing others in godliness (verse 18) and contentment (verse 17) such an important indicator in the life of the Christian?
G7 1 Timothy 6:17-20 | In what way is practicing godliness with contentment such a counter-cultural message? Why is it such a powerful and compelling message? What would a community of faith look like that practiced godliness with contentment?

Show
S1 Take inventory of your life. Where is the Holy Spirit calling you to focus your attention now? On contentment (clearing the ground) or godliness (building a life that glorifies God). Is there something you can do this week (perhaps meditating on one “window” each day, or choosing to saying “no” to something you want) to nurture this spiritual growth in your life?
