G2 2 Timothy 1:5 | RECALL YOUR FAITH | Who is in your faith lineage? (NB: It doesn’t have to be a blood relation). What qualities did you see in these people?
G3 2 Timothy 1:5 | RECALL YOUR FAITH | If you are older in years (parent / grandparent), who is in your “future faith lineage”? (Who are you passing YOUR faith on to?). How is this going for you? What might be one thing you can do to improve?
G4 2 Timothy 1:4 | RECALL YOUR FAITH | Why are the special difficulties of raising a child in the ways of God as a single parent or solo-Christian parent? Why is this verse so encouraging to SINGLE parents or solo-Christian parents?
G5 2 Timothy 1:6 | REKINDLE YOUR GIFT | What is the gift that the Holy Spirit has given you for the good of His kingdom? If you don’t know, ask Him and listen to His answer. If you’ve not yet received a gift from Him, ask Him in faith for one. Or speak to Dan and arrange a time you can pray about this together.
G6 2 Timothy 1:7 | RECEIVE THE SPIRIT | What Spirit have we NOT received? What Spirit HAVE we received (3 things)? Look at each of these descriptors of the Spirit we have received. Discuss why each of these is important and how they work so powerfully TOGETHER in the life of the believer.
