Theme of the week: How to Have a Spiritual Influence

Weekend Bible Study

We all want to live influential lives. We all want to be loved and looked up to while we’re alive and remembered when we’re gone. The gospel is the only message that fundamentally transforms people and has an eternal influence. We have been entrusted with this message that literally gives freedom to captive souls (v. 6). Paul calls us to follow his example in praying that all people, including our authorities (and you’ll remember Nero was the ruler at that time!), would experience the truth in Christ.

Key Study Passage:
1 Timothy 2:1-7

Why does Paul tell people who are oppressed by authorities to pray for their oppressors? (See also Heb. 11:32-40; 2 Cor. 11:24-27; Matt. 5:43-45.)
Why do you think prayer is such an valium help desk software important element in spiritual influence?
Who is in your sphere of spiritual influence? In what ways can you share the hope that you have in Christ?
How can you be more deliberate about seizing opportunities to have faith conversations with others?
Spend some time praying for the people God has brought to mind throughout the course of this week’s readings and Bible study.

Spend Time in Prayer: Ask God to help you be responsive to other people’s spiritual needs; ask him to help you have a spiritual influence on the people with whom you interact each day.
