Sermon Notes: Handle Lawlessness (1 Timothy 1:8-11)
For Kids: In today’s sermon, Pastor Josh reminded you that you won’t be kids forever and will one day grow up and lead in your family, in your church, in your community, and at your job. Why is it important that you listen carefully to the teaching of the Bible? What’s one way you can begin now, standing for truth and love as a family?

For Discussion:
- Why is it not arrogant of Paul to contrast his knowledge of the truth with that of the false teachers (v. 8)?
- What is one of the main purposes of God’s law? Why is it important to understand that purpose?
- What does it mean to be “unjust” in God’s eyes? According to God’s standard, who is considered unjust? Is there anyone exempt from Paul’s description of the unjust (vv. 9–10)?
- Why is it most loving to hold firmly to a biblically orthodox understanding of sexuality?
- If you would like to hear arguments against the traditional view of human sexuality and what the Bible has to say about them, check out this week’s Know and Do Podcast, available Thursday morning (link).
- Can anyone be saved without recognizing they are guilty before God?
- What is the gospel? What solution does it give for our condemnation?
- How does believing the gospel message make us just in God’s eyes?
- If Christians are rescued from the condemnation of the law, why then should they pursue holy living?
