Summary
Where do you find community: work, fitness, sports, kids activities, church…where is it for you? What characteristics mark that group of people? As we continue our series, Life Together, Jon Green teaches through 2 Timothy 3:14-17, teaching our second building block of community: biblical.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-All Scripture is God-breathed.
-Theology simply means “what you believe about God”.
-Does everyone in your life group elevate Scripture in the same way?
-Every time you read Scripture, ask God, “What do you want me to learn today?”
-Observation: What do I see?
-Interpretation: What does it mean?
-Application: How does it work? What do I do?
-All Scripture is useful.
-Are you teaching each other using Scripture?
-Rebuking: calling or pointing out sin based on Scripture. Correcting: giving a solution based on Scripture.
-Training in righteousness can look like processing decisions based on Scripture (“Hey group, I’m thinking about _____, what do you guys think God and Scripture would have me do?”) vs. reporting decisions after the fact (“Hey guys, FYI, last week I did _____.”)
-You can get well-intentioned yet horrific advice. If advice doesn’t align with Scripture, it’s bad advice.
-In general, the more you want something the less you should trust yourself.
-All Scripture prepares us.
-If you think your knowledge of Scripture is for you, you have missed the point. The goal it to take what you learn and build up other people around you.
-You will be a better disciple of Jesus if the people around you are reading their Bibles.
-It will take time and effort to learn the Bible better, and that is OK. Start where you are today, and commit to growing 24-hours at a time.
-When people in your group give counsel ask them to back it up with Scripture.
-If you want to grow in your consistency of reading the Bible, you need three things: a time, a place, and a plan.

-Suggested Scripture study: 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Proverbs 11:14

| 0:13.3 | All right. Good morning, everybody. There's the 11 a.m. Daylight Savings Crew, feeling pretty good. |
| 0:20.2 | Well, when it comes to vacation, there are two |
| 0:24.0 | buckets of people. Like, I like to put people in buckets. I think it's helpful. There's two kinds of |
| 0:27.9 | people when it comes to vacation. Some of you in this room, you feel like kind of a modern-day |
| 0:33.5 | Lewis and Clark. Like, there's a big world out there there and it's your job to see every corner of it. |
| 0:38.6 | Show of hands. Anybody approached vacation like that? World travelers? Okay. And then some of you, |
| 0:43.4 | you're like, I already found it. And you like to go to the same place. You're in, you're out. |
| 0:47.8 | Like you have your place. Show of hands. Okay? Fewer of you, but y'all are my people. |

| 1:04.0 | We fell in love with it six years ago, we go every chance we get. |
| 1:08.0 | And 14 days ago, our family was about to go. We were ready to go. |
| 1:12.2 | Like, I can't explain to you how ready to go we were. Mickey ears packed, suitcases on the |
| 1:18.1 | floor, like, ready to go the next morning. So, woke up at 5'10, just enough time. We built in |
| 1:24.7 | enough time, enough of a buffer for something to go wrong, but we needed to be on the road by six. At 5.15, I let the dogs out, which answered the Bahamas question from so long |
| 1:34.5 | ago. I did it. I let the dogs out. See, there's an age range on that joke. Some of you got it. Some of you |
| 1:42.6 | didn't, and it's okay. If you're 32-ish of you got it, some of you didn't, and it's okay. |
| 1:46.0 | If you're 32-ish, you got it, you loved it. |
| 1:50.0 | So yeah, let the dogs out, and then at 525, my wife heard a crash. |
