In Mark chapter 10, Jesus tells us why we should serve others. He ends the chapter with healing a blind man. His healing symbolizes spiritual blindness and spiritual sight. What blinds us to a great life? What distorts our vision? And conversely, what enables us to see what makes a great life?

215. Guard the Gospel Courageously
April 14, 2024 • Bruce Miller
Paul wrote Timothy a letter to challenge him to guard the gospel courageously. Christianity was not cool in the Roman Empire. The cultural pressure was firmly against the gospel, intellectually, politically, and morally. If you wanted friends and respect, you would not be a Christian. Being a Christian could not only get you canceled and cost you business, but be beaten by the police of the day, thrown in jail, and even killed.

We’re starting a new series today focusing on a letter from the New Testament, 2nd Timothy. In some ways this particular letter functions a little bit like my husband’s letter to me in that Paul wrote it to encourage Timothy to trust in what he already knew to be true only this time, in the truth of the gospel.
