Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Paul tell Timothy to do with what he heard from Paul?
    • What do the soldier, the athlete and the farmer teach about following Jesus?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Who poured God's word into your life? To whom are you passing it on?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • Whom will you begin to teach what you have learned from God's word, and when will you meet?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is faithful and ready to learn, and could one day teach others too? How will you invite them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Lord, make me faithful with what you have given me, and help me pass it on to people who will pass it on again.
