Untitled Sermon
Most people Know stories IN The Bible, but don’t know the story OF The Bible
When you don’t know the story OF The Bible, it’s easy to discount the stories IN The Bible
How you READ The Bible Determines HOW you RESPOND to what it says…
REMEMBER THE BIGGER STORY AND WHO’S WRITING IT…
16 All Scripture is inspired by God
WHEN WE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIBLE IS SAYING RIGHTLY, WE WILL APPLY WHAT IT’S SAYING WRONGLY :/
ALL OF THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN FOR YOU… NOT ALL OF THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN DIRECTLY TO YOU…
EXPLORE TO EXPAND UNDERSTANDING
3:1 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.
2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
4:1 I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom:
2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
