Sunday’s Sermon: The Goal of Godliness
1 Timothy 4:1-10
Read Colossians 3:20-23. How might you be tempted to reduce godliness to mere external prohibitions? While some prohibitions may be wise and helpful, why is it
important to keep the focus on your heart?Read Ecclesiastes 5:18-20. How can you avoid the opposing errors of ascetism or hedonism? What are some things in your life you want to be intentional and thankful to enjoy to the glory of God this week?
Read 1 Timothy 4:6-7. What kinds of things take up too much of your attention and distract you from the truth in God’s Word that you are responsible for knowing? What
can you do to give more of your attention to things that will truly nourish your soul?Read 1 Timothy 4:10. Could the words “toil” or “strive” be accurately used to describe your efforts towards godliness? What about our hope in God makes this kind of effort worthwhile?
Read Romans 5:1-5. How will the goal of godliness transform your perspective on suffering? What are some current situations in your life where this kind of thinking needs to apply?
