1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

1. We sin when we follow the desires of our ____________ instead of God's ____________ for our lives.

2. Two ways we rebel:

a. We desire to live ____________ apart from God's ____________.

b. We desire to live ____________ apart from God's ____________.

3. Our Father's will is to have both types of ____________ celebrating in the house!

Continue the Conversation

To help you apply the sermon here are some questions to talk over with your friends and family.

1. The parable of the rebellious brothers is a favorite parable in the Bible. Do you have another favorite parable? Share it!

2. Which of the brothers do you most identify with? Why? Do you see yourself in both of them?

3. Why is it so hard to hear that we are forgiven or that we need to be forgiven? How does this attack our pride? (To ask it another way, what is offensive about the older brother needing the same treatment as the younger brother?)

4. How does it make you feel knowing that God's will is for you to be saved through Jesus? How do God's desires shape your desires?
