How do we apply these principles?
- Me? A Role Model? Paul urged Timothy to be a good role model. Who are some of your role models/mentors and why did you look up to them? What are some ways that you can be a better role model today?
- Run from suffering or run to suffering? Suffering is uncomfortable and you probably try to avoid it. However, being a Christian is an invitation to suffer for the gospel. What should you remember as you persevere through suffering? What is the fruit of suffering?
- Who’s your companion? Companionship is not just for church leaders, even though they are to model it. How
can church leaders demonstrate the importance of relationships in the body of Christ? How have people encouraged and refreshed you? What is the danger of
not having a companion?
