The Danger of Disordered Love

What is the root cause of all the evil in the world? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider Paul's answer from 2 Timothy 3.

Sermon Discussion Questions

1. What are “disordered loves”? What are some ways that your loves are disordered?
2. What is one highlight from the sermon and one question that you had after hearing the sermon?
3. Read Mark 12:29–31. What does Jesus say should be our highest loves?
4. Read Genesis 3:1–7. In what ways is the Fall rooted in the disordering of Adam and Eve’s love?
5. Read 2 Timothy 3:2–4. Which of these evils sticks out to you? In what ways are each of these sins rooted in a disordered love?
6. Read 2 Timothy 3:5. What are some ways that we can appear godly externally but be dead on the inside? Can you think of examples from the Bible? (cf. Malachi 1:6–2:9; Mark 7:1–13)
7. Consider this quote from Tim Keller’s book Counterfeit Gods. “[We must] realize that idols cannot simply be removed. They must be replaced. If you only try to uproot them, they grow back; but they can be supplanted. By what? By God himself, of course. But by God we do not mean a general belief in his existence. Most people have that, yet their souls are riddled with idols. What we need is a living encounter with God.” What are some ways that we can replace our idols with a living encounter with God?
