Called
To Be God’s Woman:
Lesson 2 – Elders and Offenders
KEY
Verses: Titus 2:3-5
Standard Weekly Instruction:
Before coming to the study: Please
read and answer the questions that follow.
All the questions are based on the portion of Scripture
listed below. Next to each
answer, please reference the verse from which you have derived your answer. All questions are based on these verses.
Tonight’s lesson is also part of the background setting for our key verses.
It will take several weeks before we begin to explore the KEY
verses. We are still learning of the background
concerning the letter to Titus and the laying of the foundation for what is
yet
to come.
By answering the questions below, you will find yourself not only prepared to
share your answers in a classroom setting, but also already in the mindset for
the lesson. You may even find the
Holy Spirit speaking to you through the week concerning your findings giving
you more insight than you had anticipated.
This is truly what will make your time spent in God’s word exciting and
fruitful.
You may choose to rewrite your answers and keep them in a notebook. This might be further facilitated by going
to www.cbccorinth.org and copying and pasting the questions
onto a blank document and then adding your answers after the questions.
Print it out for yourself…and you will have everything all on the same
page. :O)
