Observation

What does it say?

  1. Read Titus 2:11-15

  4. Do you see any words or topics that Paul has talked about in previous sections?
  5. What words are used to describe God?

INTERPRETATION

What does it mean?

    1. Where do we get training? (v. 11)
    2. Read 1 Timothy 4:8 and 2 Timothy 3:16 (other letters written by Paul). What do they say is the purpose of training?
  2. Paul repeats the word "people" in verse 11 and verse 14.
    1. Who are these "people"?
    2. Do both verses have the same "people" in mind?
    3. Read Exodus 19:3-6. How does it help us to understand the "people" that Paul might be talking about?
  3. Why did Jesus give himself up? (v. 14)
    1. How should we live while we are waiting for his return?
  4. What do you think that Paul means by "these things" in verse 15?

APPLICATION

How should it change us?

  1. Do you feel trained enough to "renounce ungodliness" & to "live self-controlled"?
    1. How could you get training? (2 Timothy 3:16)
    2. Who could you get training from?
  2. How does living in the hope of Christ's return affect how you live today?
    1. What's one thing you can do this week to remind yourself of the hope of Christ's return?
