It’s Not Going to be Easy, Timothy 2 Timothy 2:1-13 HCC August 15, 2021 The Message Must Go On! 1:8 1:12,14 2:2 2:9 4:1-5 4:17 Vs 1 “You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,” While I was staying at Nailsworth, it please the Lord to teach me a truth...the benefit of which I have not lost, though now...more than forty years have since passed away. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord...but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished.” - George Mueller Vs 1 “You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,” Vs 2 what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” “I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 Vs 3-4 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. “Re-creation” or “Distraction” Vs 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. Vs 6 It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Vs 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead... Vs 9 “For which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!” Vs 11-13 The Message Must Go On!
