Sermon Discussion Questions "The Fighting Men (People) of Faith" | 1 Timothy 6:11-16

(Note: For remote participants and BFG leaders, these questions are meant to be used in conjunction with the pastor’s sermon. Attempting to use these questions absent the sermon’s teaching could lead to unbiblical or unhelpful conclusions.)

For Kids: Would you like to be immovable, unshakable in the truth, not being led astray down the dark paths of this world, kept free from error when it comes to the person of God, his work in this world, his work in your life, and his guidance all the way home to heaven? It is possible if we fight the good fight of faith.
  • What should you do when tempted to speak, think, or do something that is against the teachings of the Bible?  
  • How did Jesus model faithful living? Can you list some ways? 
  • How does weekly gathering with the church help you live faithful life? 
 
For Discussion:
  • Name some instances in which the non-Christian world shows they believe it right and good to flee unrighteousness and pursue righteousness (at least according to their definitions).  
    • How would you help a non-Christian see that the desire to flee unrighteousness and pursue righteousness can only be fully realized in Christ?  
  • What does it mean to “fight the good fight of faith”?  In what way might this desire be seen as universal among mankind? How does a desire to fight manifest itself in today’s world?  
  • Why is it important that we as humans don’t suppress an urge to “take hold of eternal life”? How might this urge be used wrongly?  
  • Name ways Scripture shows Jesus standing opposite the false teachers of this world.  
  • How does the gospel strengthen believers?  
  • How does the gospel convict non-believers?  
  • Given everything Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:11–16, what might you need to do this week to better live out the truth of the gospel?
