1 Timothy 2:1-7

Discussion Questions

Three general questions for digging deeper:

  • What does this text teach us about God?
  • What does this text teach us about ourselves?
  • If this text is true, what should we do to obey this teaching?

Questions specific to the October 26 sermon from 1 Timothy 2:

  1. Is it hard for you to pray for our civic leaders?  Why or why not?
  2. Is it hard for you to pray for the people who are over you in business?  Academia?  School?
  3. According to this passage (1 Timothy 2:1-7), there is a benefit or purpose for praying for our leaders.  What is that benefit or purpose?
  4. What other gospel purposes are mentioned in conjunction with prayer for our leaders?
  5. If you kept a timer on your activities, how much time are you worried, upset, and complaining about your leaders compared with the time you spend praying for them?
  6. Have you ever prayed for a leader and then sent them a note letting them know you are grateful for them and are praying for them?
