Discussion Questions
Abiding: He Gives. Wait.
Isaiah 40:27–31
When you feel like God isn't showing up, you know the solution. Go back to God.
Abiding: Enter His Rest
Hebrews 4:1–13
In our passage we read much about “rest.” What is God’s rest? Sabbath rest? Eternal rest? How can we know this rest, and what things can we do to grow into all that God offers?
Abiding: Refuge
Psalm 46
In a world going mad, where is there any hope of comfort or stability? In this, and this only: "The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."
Transcendent Prayer
Ephesians 6
Transcendent prayer goes beyond physical needs, material needs, social needs, and comfort needs, even needs of freedom. It is a supplication for the greater need of the kingdom and is focused on the very vision and mission entrusted by the Lord.
Abiding: The Rest Giver
Matthew 11:25–30
.Jesus doesn't get frustrated when we come to Him for fresh forgiveness—for mercy and love! Or even when we come in distress and in need and in emptiness... BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE CAME TO HEAL!
Abiding: Sheltered
Psalm 91
Having God as a shelter and refuge gives strength and courage to the people of God!

Entrusted for Endurance: Power of Godliness
2 Timothy 3:1–9
Paul offers a depressing list of behavior descriptive of people in his (and our?) time and then concludes with, "having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." What is the power of godliness? Why should it matter?
Entrusted for Endurance: Avoiding Catastrophe
2 Timothy 2:14–26
In accomplishing God's mission, the church is God's Plan A in the world. Paul offers Timothy wise counsel for avoiding the catastrophes that could sideline the church from the mission.
Entrusted for Endurance: Salvation that Endures
2 Timothy 1:13–2:13
We do not put our faith in our faith, or in our feelings, because they will change and fail. We put our faith in Jesus Christ.
Entrusted for Endurance: Not Ashamed
2 Timothy 1:8–12
