In this sermon, Pastor Joshua Foster examines 2 Timothy 2:8-13, pointing us to the most important questions any person could ever ask: 1) Who is Jesus?; 2) What has he done? Jesus is more than just a good teacher, he is the Son of God, who was incarnated and lived among us, descended from King David, the one who had been prophesied for centuries. He also died and rose from the dead, and because this is true is solidifies our communion to him. If we trust in Christ, he will remain committed to us and will never leave us, even in our moments of doubt or folly. However, if any person denies Christ, refusing to believe and trust, then that person remains condemned in their sins. Christ is always faithful to do what he promises—he is who he claimed to be, and he triumphantly accomplished what the Word claims he accomplished.

In this video, Pastor Jonathan expounds upon 2 Timothy 4:9–22 and reminds us of the "realness" of Jesus. We see that the Apostle Paul often relied on people, because we as humans need other people, but ultimately Paul knew that Jesus was enough for his. The Lord stood by him and strengthen him. We need people. And Jesus is enough. We make every effort to surround ourselves with people who will help us, but when nobody comes, when we're all alone, we must remember that Jesus is all we really need.

November 1, 2020 • David Mathis
In this video, Pastor David Mathis expounds upon 2 Timothy 4:1–8. He points to the urgent reality that what people need most from preachers are the simple truths we see in the Scriptures. People don't need pithy statements, jokes, stories, or social commentary; what they really need to know is what God has to say. Christ's opinion is supreme because he is the judge. This is good news for Paul and Timothy, and us, but terrifying for those who wander away. Christ is coming back, with all authority and sovereign power, and when he does, he will right every wrong. Justice in this age, as much as we work for it, and pray for it, will not be perfect and complete in this life. But one day true justice will be done, finally and fully, once and for all, when the judge returns — and he will get the glory as the final judge. And Jesus will reward his people who have endured. Not just for Paul. He says, "and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing."

In this video, Kenneth Ortiz expounds upon 2 Timothy 3:10–17 showing how the Apostle Paul exhorts Timothy to rely on the sacred writings as the means of grace and strength in the face of persecution and suffering. God gives us the Bible, so that we can know him, so that we can be equipped in this life, and so that we can have intimacy with him. The very existence of the Bible shouts to us the kindness of our God. We as Christians ought to be fiercely committed to being people of the book!
