- In 2 Timothy 1:5, whose influence on Timothy did Paul recognize?

- Paul told Timothy to warn people "against quarreling about words." (2 Timothy 2:14) How would you recognize when a conversation has become a quarrel about words?

- In Isaiah 20, how did God show Israel not to trust in Cush or Egypt?
- In Isaiah 22:10-11, Isaiah describes Jerusalem making plans for their defense, but failing to rely on God, "You counted the buildings in Jerusalem and tore down houses to strengthen the wall. You built a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the Old Pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago." Are there ways in which you are relying on your own plans but not on God?
- God refers to the economy of Tyre as "lucrative prostitution." (Isaiah 23:17) But He says in verse 18, "Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord," and "Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord." How could God use profits gained in an ungodly way to help those who are following the Lord?
- Isaiah 24:3 says, "The earth will be completely laid waste." Why will this happen?
- Isaiah 25:8 says that God, "will swallow up death forever," and "will wipe away the tears from all faces." How will God accomplish this?

- Isaiah 27:2-3 says, "Sing about a fruitful vineyard: I, the Lord, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it." Jesus said that he is the vine and we are the branches. In what ways have you seen God watch over, water, and guard you?
- What is the cornerstone Isaiah speaks of in Isaiah 28:16?

- Psalm 104:33 says, "I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live." Do you sing to God?
