20 Days in 2 Timothy
About This Study
The faithful transmission of the Gospel message from one generation to the next is at the heart of the mission of God’s people. Paul, the foremost missionary of the Christian faith, spent his life investing in others in the hopes that the message he proclaimed would continue throughout the world long after his death.
Two thousand years later, we are the fruition of Paul’s labor and the recipients of the same blessed burden: to take up the mission of spreading the good news of Jesus to the world around us.
Over the next twenty days, we’ll open the scriptures and study Paul’s second letter to Timothy, a young pastor in the city of Ephesus. Guided in our study by Ben Stuart, we’ll dive into writing dripping with emotion as the aging Paul begs his beloved Timothy to stay true to the faith in an age where the culture at large was rejecting Christianity.
Timothy’s hurdles to continuing the work of God were immense, and maybe you can relate, but Paul urged him, and by extension us, to be diligent in the face of obstacles in order to properly care for God’s people. Maybe you’re like Timothy, called to ministry in a difficult day, or maybe you are simply trying to shine with the light of Jesus in dark times. No matter where God has you today, there is so much to learn from this letter from a mentor to his beloved disciple.
Each day of our study will consist of a short video, and we encourage you to read along with us, take notes, and set aside the time to meditate on or even discuss what you learned with a friend or small group so you can deepen your faith. These days are going to be life-changing, so let’s get started.
