Study Questions for Groups

By Michael C. Mack

1. What challenge did you face over the past week?

2. In what ways were you hospitable to someone last week?

Ask three people—two readers and one reteller—to help. Ask the readers to read Titus 2 one after the other, preferably from different Bible versions.

Ask the third person to summarize the passage in 60 seconds or less.

3. What would you add to what our summarizer said?

4. Let’s dig more deeply into this passage.

• What is the overall context for teaching different people in the church how to live godly lives?

• Based on this passage, what situations in the church was Titus confronting?

• How would you differentiate the approaches for teaching various people groups?

• In what ways does God’s grace teach Christ followers?

5. What do you learn about God from this passage?

6. What do you learn about the needs of God’s people?

7. Pick one teaching group with whom you most identify (teacher, older men, older women, younger women, younger men, employees). Once you’ve identified your group, what do you most need to learn and obey?

8. Consider an environment in which you are regularly with non-Christians (e.g., a workplace, neighborhood, social grouping, family, etc.). What specifically can you do in that environment to “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive”?

9. Based on our study and discussion, complete this sentence: “This week, I will . . .”

10. What encouragement do you need today as you think about this upcoming week?

For Next Week: Over the next week, read and reflect on Titus 3. You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.
