This morning is our final one considering 2 Timothy. Though the entire letter has been a final letter from Paul to his spiritual son, Timothy, in this closing chapter of this final letter we continue to see Paul sharing his heart with his beloved son. As he sits in prison, …
As we continue considering highlights in second Timothy, three themes continue to emerge as Paul addresses his spiritual son: 1) Confront wrong teaching; 2) Provide right teaching; 3) Stay the course of faith. The beginning of this third chapter highlights the ungodly and terrible times and behavior Timothy can expect …
In this second chapter of 2 Timothy, Paul continues to offer Timothy final words of encouragement—final because as we learned last week, Paul is in jail and his death is imminent. The chapter begins with him saying, “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ …
