Discussion Questions - Re-read our main passage from this week (1 Timothy 5:24-6:5) and then with your Growth Group, family, friends, etc. thoughtfully answer the following:

1. Is the knowledge that all hidden things will eventually be made known comforting or terrifying to you, and why?

2. Does it bother you if your good deeds aren’t noticed or appreciated by others? Why or why not?

3. Who was your hardest boss, and how well did you honor him or her?
