Do your best! - 2 Timothy 4:9-15

November 5, 2023 • Mike Burt • 2 Timothy 4:9–15

Give

Years ago, I was taught a method of decision making that was pretty simple – what things are important and what things are urgent? Some are both and some are neither while some are one or the other. We find Paul going over the events of Rome from his jail cell – some things are urgent and some things are important – some are both! Paul encourages Timothy by these several examples to continue in ministry faithfully and with great resolve. There are so many things to learn from this short paragraph – I will try to do as many as I can. As is in the title – I will do my best – come and hear what God says to us through the life of Paul and the ministry of Timothy. The issues Paul gives here are both important and urgent – come and be a part of this week!

But the Lord Stood by Me - 2 Timothy 4:16-22

November 12, 2023 • Denis Garijo • 2 Timothy 4:16–22

"But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth." 2 Timothy 4:17 (ESV) On Sunday, we will gather to study Paul’s final words in the Bible. The last seven verses from 2 Timothy have so much to teach us, and I believe the Holy Spirit will speak into our hearts. We will learn from Paul’s experience and teaching that: -We should not let resentment find a place in our hearts. -When we stand up for the truth of God's Word, even if people abandon us, God will always be there for us. Death should not be feared. -There is a constant opportunity to love and care for our neighbor. “To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.” - Charles Spurgeon I appreciate your prayers and hope to see you on Sunday.

Preach the Word - 2 Timothy 4:1-8

October 29, 2023 • Denis Garijo • 2 Timothy 4:1–8

"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching." - 2 Timothy 4:2 Have you thought that God calls us all to preach the Word? This week, we will see in 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Paul charging Timothy to a public heralding of the gospel message. And that is a calling to each one of us. As believers, we are called to share God's message. Sometimes, people fall into the trap of sharing messages that please others or themselves. But we must preach only one message- the Word of God. We will see that Paul teaches not only when and why we need to preach God's Word but also how to do it. "A man who first tried to guess 'what the public wants,' and then preached that as Christianity because the public wants it, would be a pretty mixture of fool and knave." ― C.S. Lewis, https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1629234 I appreciate your prayers! Pastor Denis

The Soldiers Protection from the Peril of Apostacy - 2 Timothy 3:10-17

October 22, 2023 • Kevin Browne • 2 Timothy 3:10–17

“The way of sin is down-hill; for such proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” Matthew Henry How do we protect ourselves from Biblical errors and misunderstanding in the World? There seem to be so many ideas floating about – yet we can be sure there is a godly truth at the core! Sunday Pastor Kevin Browne will tackle this important defense for disciples – the Word of God! Paul begins his final words and we can hear the voice of great experience tutoring the younger shepherd on how to take the perilous days ahead. Paul tells Timothy that the strength and resource to grow in this dying World is only to be found in God’s Word. Not a book about God – but God’s very BOOK! At Grace we know the Bible is ‘inspired’ but do we really know what that means? Kevin will break this down for us on Sunday – come and hear! See you Sunday, Pastor Mike
