The Promise Of Life In The Gospel - Part 2 of 2

Was grace a secret? In the opening chapter of 2 Timothy, Paul writes, "This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus...." When we saw the Savior, we saw the grace - the unmerited favor of God. And that's only the beginning! But this "promise of life" we've been studying is tied back to promises God made to the children of Israel.

The Promise Of Life In The Gospel - Part 1 of 2

Don't skip the greeting! I admit that I tend to read, "Paul, an Apostle, and so on, blah blah blah..." and skip to the body of the letter. If you're doing that too, here's what we're missing: "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus...." That's everything, isn't it? Life, eternal life, is what everyone wants. There's a promise we can have it. And it's "in Christ Jesus."

Tim's Spiritual Legacy - Part 2 of 2

Timothy wasn't the only one to get gifts! We're reading 2 Timothy, and it's obvious that young Tim had some gift related to his ministry, imparted by the laying on of Paul's hands. That's not a gift given to everyone. But Paul continues by naming some gifts "we" have. Could you use some power in your life? Some love? Some self-control and discernment? You already have them, according to this passage. Here's Jim at 2 Timothy 1, verse 4.

Tim's Spiritual Legacy - Part 1 of 2

What if the Apostle Paul's last letter were addressed to you? Paul's epistles are among the most important pieces of literature in the world. He wrote his final letter knowing it would be his last, and he chose to communicate with a young Christian leader named Timothy. That's the note we call, "Second Timothy," and we'll be reading it closely in our new series. In these few pages of the New Testament there is Truth for our Toxic Times. While you turn there, Jim will get us started with a story.

Contending For The Faith

Apostles against apostasy! As we wrap up our study of 2 Timothy, we'll see that it wasn't just Paul who was worked up about liars infiltrating the church. Peter wrote about it, and Jude, as well. Jesus had warned us of wolves in sheep's clothing - well, they had arrived. And it would only get worse. The "eyewitness generation" was passing away just as a tsunami of falsehood was rushing in. Here's Jim to talk about, Contending for the Faith.

Preach The Message

Heard any good fairy tales lately? I know you've heard some bad fairy tales lately. When divine truth is discarded, it isn't reason and logic that rush in to fill the void; it's superstition and nonsense. Our postmodern era is defined by its hostility to truth. This condition can't continue forever, of course. But while it does, what do we do? The Apostle Paul had some thoughts on that, in his second letter to Timothy.

Motivations To Effective Ministry

Would you leave the Shepherd, to follow the Wolf? Jesus has brought all kinds of sheep into His flock, rescuing them from all sorts of lies and addictions and sins. But the Wolf promises them freedom from the sheep pen - plus hidden knowledge, and prestige in the world. And some of them jump. That's not an explanation of apostasy, but it is a little parable to illustrate Paul's concern. We're studying his 2nd letter to Timothy.

Avoiding Satan's Trap

Flamed anyone on the internet lately? The temptation to put someone in his place - for the Kingdom, of course! - might be greater today than it was for Paul and Timothy. We can have opportunities to argue with people all day, every day. And when we take that bait we run afoul of a few instructions in 2 Timothy 2. We can wrangle about words and quarrel and chase empty chatter, all in a single tweet. Jim would like to help us with, Avoiding Satan's Trap.

Pictures Of Courage

Don't drop the baton! Paul's leg of the gospel relay was almost completed; he wanted to be sure that Timothy's hands were steady, and that he was ready to run! In 2 Timothy, chapter 2, we find the metaphor of an athlete, as well as comparisons to a farmer, and a soldier. In fact, Jim sees 7 "Pictures of Courage" - the title of the sermon we'll begin today. The Apostle's hourglass was almost empty, but his heart was full.
