Well, as we continue on in this series that I've been doing a rotter Revival today, when it came to.
I wasn't sure what to do for a title.
So you'll see on your sermon notes.
It's got one title and then, it says, or couldn't decide.
So I just put them both on.
And afterwards, you can tell me which ones fit a little better.
Our main scripture today is from 2nd.
Timothy chapter 1 verses 3 through 8. Since I think God whom I serve as my ancestors did with a clear conscience as night and day.
I constantly remember you in my prayers.
Recalling your tears.
I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
I'm reminded of your sincere Faith, which first live in your grandmother Lois.
And then your mother Eunice and I am persuaded.
Now, lives also lives in.
You, also, for this reason.
I remind you to Fan into Flame, the gift of God.
Which is in you through the laying on of my hands for the spirit.
God gave us does not make us timid but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.
Rather join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
You know, that you read through that scripture.
It becomes pretty clear that, you know, this passage contains kind of a classic example of a man who, you know, if he wasn't already in a row, he's heading in that direction.
And, you know, Paul who knew that he was about to retire.
Or in other words.
He knew that the Lord was going to be calling him home soon.
He felt compelled to write a letter to his young coworker Timothy.
Which leads me to believe that Paul was nearing.
The end of his journey.
He was beginning to see some things in Timothy that made him believe that maybe Timothy was starting to struggle.
You know Paul talks about his time as a prisoner in the many times.
He had been jailed for what he was preaching and teaching and no doubt.
Timothy saw all those things.
Timothy saw how Paul was treated in, you know, maybe it was beginning to get the best of him.
Me and Paul knew that Timothy had a strong faith.
He knew his grandmother and his mother and that they had taught Timothy the faith at a young age.
So he knew you had a solid foundation.
But he knew that everything they were going through was wearing on him.
And you know, I think that's why Paul said that phrase, they're of you note to Fan into Flame, the gift that God has given you.
He means his faith tube fan it into a flame.
Or if you look at the King James version of that.
It says, stir up the gift of God.
He's reminding Timothy to not lose his face.
And we know that God never uses unnecessary words in scripture.
If it's there.
It's because it needed to be.
So if Paul was writing this in this letter to Timothy, it's obvious that Timothy needed this or it wouldn't have been written.
And you know, that last verse that passes second Timothy 18.
So do not be ashamed of a testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.
Rather join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
Like I said, Timothy had been with Paul for a long time.
So there's no doubt that he had seen all the trials and tribulations that Paul had went through.
You know, Timothy was always tagging along.
So most of the time when Paul got into trouble.
That probably meant, that Timothy got into trouble, a lot of those times, you know, the whole guilt-by-association thing.
He may have not said those things but he was with him.
And Paul notice the little temptation to be ashamed of that time.
They had spent in prison for the gospel or to be ashamed of the trouble, but they stirred up some places.
But Paul is telling him to not do that.
Don't shrink from the Affliction.
That's brought upon you because of your willingness to share the gospel.
Don't back away from it because God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of strength and love and power.
And we need to remember that.
In 2nd, Timothy 2:3, Paul said, join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ.
Jesus.
Like I said, you know, Paul sees that his young companion is tempted to pull back from the task that they've been given.
And Paul knew that Timothy was a good man.
He knew that Timothy had been raised in a Christian home with a strong faith.
So he knew
that this wasn't really the way that Timothy wanted to live his life.
He didn't want to live his life in a timid fearful way, being afraid to advance the gospel.
So Paul is trying to encourage him here to stand strong and to not fall into the rut and join with everyone else and just living up to the status quo.
I need a really as I thought about that and I prepared and this is what this entire Series has kind of been about that wake-up call that warning to all of us that we don't want our own faith to fall into that place.
It can become easy.
Especially after we went through the last couple years of covid-19 are as much time together, not near as many functions happening and things like that.
It's easy for face to grow stale and for us to stay in that fearful mindset that so many people adopted during this time.
But that's not how we're supposed to live.
So how do we get to the Revival side of this series?
You know, we've talked a lot about the rut in the rot and we want to begin moving towards Revival and we're just going to touch on that briefly today, but I wanted to get started and toes are in his book.
He uses a very good illustration.
I think to kind of get it across the hell, revival can begin to happen in our lives.
And what does he compares?
The coming of Revival in your life to the coming of spring?
Your toes are talks about when we're in the dead of winter, and it seems that the snow has been there in the cold forever.
Things can begin to look a little bleak.
Snow's, pretty at first, right?
We at, we like it if we get it on Christmas morning, but any other day, it's not near as pretty.
The cold is colder.
And the snow is wider, and you knows we see that out there across the entire landscape.
It can seem like there's just nothing there.
There's no life.
We don't hear the birds chirping like we normally would, we don't see all the pretty flowers and leaves on the trees.
Just everything is Stark and Bear.
but then, The days start to grow a little bit longer.
You have days like yesterday and today.
Where it's a little bit warmer outside and after a while, all those patches of snow that have been there for the entire year, start to melt and we begin to see them replaced by patches of Grey.
And then, as the days, get a little sunnier and warmer and longer, we begin to see buds popping on trees.
Flowers, starting to come up out of the ground and it's proof that there are signs of life in this landscape.
Even though four months, it had been gone.
And you know, toes are Compares that to, you know, there is such a thing of as going through a season of winter and your spiritual life.
We've all been there at one time or another that time when everything seems cold start bear and dark.
