2 Timothy1:1-7
Join us this Sunday as we begin a new sermon series and look at the opening verses of 2 Timothy, where we see the secure hope of the gospel grounded in God's eternal counsel and will. This eternal hope springs Christians, not into a fiery frenzy of uncontrolled emotions, but into a sober, gracious, merciful, disciplined life of warmth and courage as a witness to the Kingdom of God in a fearful and insecure world. Like a stranger wandering the cold wilderness at night, Paul exhorts Timothy to remember the faith of his mother and grandmother and the gift of pastoral ministry he has been given by the Spirit and to "fan into flame" his gift and calling so that others will see and feel the warmth and security of Christ and his gospel in a fear-driven age.

What would you say to someone you loved about your legacy and how to carry on that legacy as you lay on your deathbed? Paul’s second letter to his spiritual son, mentee, and protégé Timothy is a window into how Paul answers this question.
