Digest: 1 Timothy 6:17-21

Well, here we are at the end of our travels through 1 Timothy, and Paul leaves Timothy, and us, with some bracing and timeless instruction on how to be rich. This will be the last Digest for the year.

• How do you decide what rich is?
• How rich do you think you are?

Read 1 Timothy 6:17-19

• Can Christians be rich?
• What traps are rich Christians warned about?
• How could you tell if riches had made you arrogant?
• How could you tell if you had your hope in wealth?
• What are rich Christians to do and to be?
• What good examples of this have you seen?
• What progress have you been able to make in being generous and willing to share?
• In what ways would you like to do better at this?
• What incentives are there in this passage to ‘be rich in good deeds’?
