Small Group Questions March 25, 2018 Series: Live Free Week 6: “Live free of fear” Introduction Baggage are the things we carry around with us on the inside. In a broken world, all kinds of events happen and while the event may pass, the effect of the event can stay with us. Our baggage has a way of influencing our lives in negative ways. Of course, we would like to be free of it, but that’s easier said than done. In this series we will look at how we can ditch some of our baggage. Each week will look at a specific piece of baggage that is prevalent in our day. The hope through these weeks is to see people experience more freedom in Jesus and less burden from the hurts of this world. (Questions to get everyone to participate) 1. What is the scariest movie you’ve ever seen or scariest book you’ve ever read? 2. When you hear the word “courage,” is there a person or a situation that comes to your mind? Explain (Questions based on the primary text) Read II Timothy 1:1-7. 3. What can you discern about Paul’s relationship with Timothy in this passage? 4. What role can trusted people in our lives play that assist us in overcoming fear? What does the relationship need to look like for that benefit to become a reality? 5. Are you more likely to live in fear of the past (things you can’t change) or the future (things you can’t control)? Why so? 6. Of the three characteristics of the spirit God gives us listed in :7, which is most needed in your life right now: power = boldness; love = loving; self-discipline = sensible? Why? 7. How can your group help you the most in times when you are fearful?
