Posted By: Derek Hall

In 2 Timothy 2:22-26, Paul gives Timothy numerous commands. Taken together they are a call to action. Paul is laying out for Timothy how to live and pastor in light of false teaching. However, he does not stop at commands. He gives Timothy the purpose behind this call to action. He wants Timothy to know how to live so the gospel will go forth in Ephesus. As followers of Jesus, this should be our aim and purpose as well.

In 2 Timothy 2:14, Paul begins to address the situation at the church in Ephesus more pointedly. False teaching was wreaking havoc on the church and people were suffering. In the face of such turmoil, Paul instructs Timothy to focus on the Truth and to distance themselves from those who engage in irreverent babble.

This Sunday, September 26, 2021, we continue our study through 2 Timothy. Paul charged Timothy to not be ashamed of the gospel or of Paul as a prisoner because of the gospel.
