Family Study: Week Of: Sunday, April 18. 2021
Reflection
- (1Ti 4:6 ESV) If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.
- (1Ti 4:7 ESV) Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;
- (1Ti 4:8 ESV) for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
- (1Ti 4:9 ESV) The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.
- (1Ti 4:10 ESV) For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
- (1Ti 4:11 ESV) Command and teach these things.
Discussion
The rise of technology has brought on all sorts of benefits to our lives. One of those is quick access to learn almost anything from anywhere. How many times have you called up a video online to show you how to do something?
With this benefit, we also have a problem with the soundness of some of that education. It is easy for anyone to present themselves as an expert on anything – and as a result mislead others.
The church has been victim to mislead teachers for a very long time. Throughout history false teachers have come along and mislead countless people with things that were not in line with the Bible. In order to protect ourselves from this, we must strive to know God’s Word and apply it to our lives daily.
Connection
How can you daily strive to train yourself in the things of God?
When life slaps you around, what can give you hope in your faith?
1 Timothy calls Jesus the savior of all, especially those who believe. How do we see His saving work displayed in the world around us?
