In today's passage from 2 Timothy, Paul presents us with two paths in moments of persecution or testing: we can crack under the pressure and choose the easy way out, or we can rise to the occasion and do the Lord's will in faith.
You were saved not to get what you want out of life but to experience what God wants for your life — even if that includes suffering for the name of Christ. Live out His calling for you with boldness. It's a privilege and there is great reward.
Are you proud of the gospel? Even the uncomfortable parts like sin and God's judgement? Do you know the Good News well enough to proclaim it boldly? Nothing is more valuable than the gospel, so don't waste this gift by hiding it away.
Has your service to Christ been growing in enthusiasm, or has it been waning? While awaiting his execution in a Roman dungeon, Paul can clearly see God at work and is even thankful! Let's learn how we can have that same attitude.
What are you investing in? In this new series, Dr. John walks through the amazing Pauline letter 2 Timothy, Paul’s final correspondence before his execution. It’s the authoritative but intimate words of an Apostle to his dear friend on how to live faithfully to the end, and leave behind the eternal legacy of godliness - no matter the cost.
Dr. John concludes this series on Acts 13-15 by discussing the genuine Gospel that was reestablished in these chapters, which Paul reiterates in his letter to the Galatians.We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We can't forget it.
Has your experience of church been one of joy and transcendent peace, or one of deep hurt? In Acts, just as it is today, churches and ministry were full of the clear power of the Holy Spirit, but also the clear failings of the human flesh. Yet through it all there is reconciliation, and God is glorified.
Today we discuss the verdict of freedom reached at the Council of Jerusalem. These words were distributed to the churches then but are also for believers today. We are all one family of many nations, united by our loyalty to Christ, His Gospel, and each other.
The whole Scriptures demand that cultural barriers be removed from fulfilling the great commission of bringing the Gospel to all people, everywhere. It's the calling of all who have been saved by faith in Christ.
With the very heart of the Christian faith at stake, how did the early church resolve the issue that threatened to irreparably divide? Join us as we continue this series on Acts in the midst of a turbulent time in the early Church.
How are sins forgiven? What is needed to be right with God? It is perhaps the most important question, and in the book of Acts we're told that it caused debate and division. Is faith enough, or is something else needed?
When we are obedient to Christ, the fruit is always more than we expected, and the door is open far wider than we had imagined. Paul bore the marks that it isn't easy, but the fruit is wonderful.
When we live in a culture whose thinking is so far from Biblical truth, how do we find a starting point for sharing the Gospel? Paul and Barnabas faced this very issue almost 2,000 years ago and have wisdom for us.
How should followers of Jesus respond in hardships, trials, and persecution? Let's continue in our study of Acts and consider our call to proclaim the Gospel.
We must always keep on the mission that Christ has called us to. Like Paul and Barnabus, we will face Spiritual opposition, but we never stop proclaiming the good news to all people!
The blood of bulls and other animals could not atone for the sins of all. But the blood of Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for all. The call is for repentance and baptism through faith in Jesus Christ, the only sacrificial lamb. What’s your response to the message?
Jesus the fulfilment of a redemptive Saviour as promised by an all knowing God. Jesus is the fulfilment of prophecy with profound evidences of his death, burial and resurrection documented by trustworthy eyewitnesses.
Why is it the first Testament? Throughout the Old Testament we see God’s people needing a saviour. Jesus became the ultimate Saviour as predicted in the Old Testament and as recorded in the New Testament. He is still the only saviour who can redeem us today.
It is impossible for the gospel to go forward without considerable spiritual warfare.Jesus did say that the gates of hell would not prevail against the church but that doesn’t mean the gates of hell would throw up a white flag when they see the church coming.There will be considerable damage in the battle, but God is faithful and he will not abandon his servants.
As Christs followers we have been called to go and make disciples of all nations as mandated by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20. This is a call to preach the gospel against all odds. What does this look like today? Let’s explore this series to see where we fall short of this mandate.

What John the Baptist did makes the role of Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel and Isaiah seem like a small role indeed. For the role of John the Baptist, this greatest of all men, was to usher Jesus onto the public stage. And that was an extremely difficult role to play. But unlike John, who will lead a national revival, Jesus will be called the Son of the Most High.
Jesus bore it alone. Deserted and forsaken. Like Daniel, only to a degree that Daniel would not have known possible. He stood forsaken by man and God, so much so, he would cry out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me".
Hezekiah was committed to following the commands of God. He was also committed restoring the worship of the true God of Israel and protecting the people from invasions.
Elijah was a great prophet. So much so that John the Baptist was considered to appear in the power of Elijah. Despite John the Baptist's comparison to Elijah, John the Baptist declared his unworthiness to untie Jesus' sandals.
David was a mighty king. He brought liberation to the people of Israel however, he was unable to liberate them from the bondage of sin. Jesus the liberator has freed his people from the powers of spiritual darkness.
Jesus, like Moses, he leads his people out of the enslavement of sin and the judgement to come. But like Joshua, he leads his people into the promised rest.
Jesus is the Son of God. He is, as John teaches us, eternally begotten from the Father. Jesus is the eternal God, come forth from the eternal God. He is light coming forth from light, sharing fully in the essence of the Father.
Joseph would have loved to be out of the prison and restored to what he once had, but he was unable to have it. So, he chose to be faithful where God had put him.
Two children of promise. One was Isaac, whose contributions in this world were small and yet he was the promise of a salvation that would come to the world.
Jesus came into a dark and ruined world and presented this world with something it had never seen since the fall of Adam. Light had come into the world. Jesus the hope of the world.
