About this listen

Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-5

Preaching Point: As a church and as individual believers, we must continually and actively look to teach others to be like Christ.

Teaching Points:

  1. Take Your Charge to Teach Seriously (vv. 1-2)
  2. Take the Threats to Sound Teaching Seriously (vv. 3-4)
  3. Take the Lifestyle of Teaching Seriously (vv. 5)

Application Questions

  1. What is one observation or application you found helpful from Sunday’s sermon?
  2. Read 2 Timothy 4:1-2. Paul roots his charge in four eternal realities (God’s presence, judgment, Christ’s return, His kingdom). How should those realities affect the way we approach teaching others?
  3. What does it look like to be “ready in season and out of season” in your current stage of life?
  4. Read 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and Psalm 37:4. How are these verses related and what do they tell us about the root cause of people following false teaching?
  5. Read Acts 17:10-12. What safeguards help you stay anchored in truth when culture, media, or even so-called Christian voices pull you elsewhere?
  6. Read 2 Timothy 4:5. What does “fulfilling your ministry” look like in your life right now—at home, work, school, or church?
  7. Is there someone God may be calling you to intentionally teach or disciple right now? What might obedience look like this week?
