How do we apply these principles?
1. About the mission. . . Paul begins with God’s authority, not his own (v. 1; cf. 1 Timothy 6:13-16). How does knowing that our work is for and from God shape our attitudes? Our methods? How does knowing that God assures victory and grants rewards change us?
1. About the message. . . Why is proclaiming truth so important (vv. 1-5)? Why don’t people respond positively to truth? Why are many teachers so quick to tell folks things they want to hear? What happens when we listen only to those things we want to hear?
1. About the methods. . . Today we hear much about “networking,” but by that many mean only creating relationships which will further their careers. What is the difference between that and what you see Paul practicing (cf. Romans 16)? How are his methods of preparing and placing workers similar to Jesus’ ways? Why can it be tempting to work alone and forget about training others? Why is it hard (at times, for some) to trust others?
1. About the ministry. . . One of our greatest enemies is our own set of faulty expectations. We expect people to welcome us, like us, be like us, listen to us, and cooperate with us. Paul’s experience and Jesus’ experience should cure us of that. Why do we make these faulty assumptions? Why are we surprised when people “jump ship,” misunderstand, or betray? How does Paul deal with his reality that no one stood with him at his first trial (vv. 16, 17)? How does Jesus prepare us? John 16:1-4

How do we apply these principles?
1. Are these the last days? The last days began with the coming of Jesus, according to Hebrews 1:2. Why does Paul link his “vice list” (vv. 2-5) with the last days? How is this both a warning and an encouragement? See also 1 John 2:18; 4:3.
1. Where does outward evil begin? Notice that Paul begins and ends this list with what people love or don’t love. Why is this important? List the qualities these people lack. How do these deficiencies contribute to the breakdown of a culture? Can you list some parallels with Israel’s downfall in 2 Chronicles 36:11-16?
1. How do false teachers work? Why do you think Paul points out that a key target of the false teachers are “weak women burdened with sins”? (No, he is not defaming women.) Why does he say these teachers are “creeping into houses”? What is it about our sins that make us easy prey for heretics and false teachers? Why does he say that, like the magicians, they will not get far?
1. How does Truth reveal itself? Paul reminds Timothy not only of Scripture that he knew but the lives that he had seen living that truth. Why and how can conduct of the faithful become an encouragement to Timothy (and us)? What does Paul mean when he says that Scripture is “God breathed”? What descriptive words and phrases does he use to indicate that Scripture is a sufficient resource for Timothy? How sufficient is it?
