Study of 1st Timothy - Lesson 3 - Older Group
May 4th, 2008 by admin
This past Fridays’ bible study was a little different for us, we all gathered at the Bedford Boys Ranch under one of the pavilions an after dinner and our bible study was over we had a nice little bonfire with some praise and worship to the Lord. It was definitely a great time.
Scripture: I Timothy 3
For those who had studied our homework assignment from the time before and where present know that Bro. Mike pointed out how that Romans 12 and I Timothy 3 tie really close together and in a way reference each other. I am going to list the main points we talked about and believe me there were a lot. Take the time through the next week or so and study both chapters and pray that God will reveal to you what is hidden within.
List in no particular order.
Verse 14 - Talking about what things he is writing unto them.
Verse 15 - And why he is writing to them.
A note I made that should be already known to us but I will mention it, the House of God is the Body of Christ, which is us. Don’t mistaken the House of God to be a physical building such as our church. It is you and I.
Acts 7:48-49
Acts 17:24-25
Heb 10:5
Romans 12:1-2
How easy it is to misunderstand the real meaning God is trying to get across to us when approach the spiritual Word of God with our carnal way of thinking. And if someone attempts to tell you something ‘’so called” scriptural how will you know if it is true or not unless you dive into the word on your own and have a revelation of it.
Other scriptures references:
Eph 1:4
Phil 2:15
Col 3:16
Rom 12: 10, 13 & 18
I Timothy 3 <–ties with–> Romans 12 (Reread them both)
Bro. Mike brought the point out about being a novice and how you could be given to pride. Read what the scriptures say about it.
Read the Word of God so you may know how to behave and live.
And the great mystery of Godliness is God dwelling in the flesh.
These are some things we went over and discussed, I scribbled some notes for referencing back and remember what we talked about, I pray you can take them and dig deeper.
Homework: Continue studying Romans 12 for the next study.
