Fan Into Flame the Gift of God (Spiritual Gifts Series #6)

FAN INTO FLAME THE GIFT OF GOD

2 Timothy 1:1-14 (Go to the ESV Bible Verses)
Key Verse: 1:6,  ^“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,”

1. What do you learn from Paul’s greeting (1)? About his relationship to Timothy (1-4)? About Timothy’s spiritual heritage (5)?
2. What does Paul remind Timothy to do regarding God’s gift in him (6; 1Ti 4:14)? How can you fan into flame God’s gift to you? What is characteristic of the Spirit God gave us (7)?
3. Why might believers be ashamed of the gospel or afraid to testify about Christ, and how can we overcome this (8)? What motivates us to do this, and how is this different from our own effort (9)? How has God’s power, purpose and grace been manifested (10)? How does this impact your view of death?
4. Why was Paul suffering and what gave him confidence (11-12)? What pattern should Timothy follow (13)? Why are faith and love in Christ Jesus foundational?
5. What should Timothy guard and how (14)? How can we rely on the Holy Spirit to help us, rather than our own strength or depending on someone else?
