In Paul's second letter to Timothy, we see the heart of a spiritual father pouring out his parting wisdom to his son in the faith. To Christ's church today, this precious letter plants our hearts in the glorious truth of the gospel. It encourages, inspires, corrects, and directs our hearts to Christ our hope at every turn. As I enter a season of extended leave due to health reasons, I pray this letter will become a treasured guide and encouragement to the church during our time apart.
Sunday evening commissioning message from Missionary Oriel O'Gorman and Evangelist John Van Gelderen. August 10, 2025
Pastor Josh preaches from 2nd Timothy 1:13-18 Study Questions 1) What does it mean to “guard the good deposit” and what practical steps can you take to accomplish this in your daily walk with Christ? What role does the local church play in this? 2) In verse 15, Paul mentions that “all who are in Asia” had deserted him, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. How are we to interact with those that have seemingly walked away from the faith or find themselves in unrepentant sin? 3) Paul speaks of Onesiphorus's kindness in our text and how he was “not ashamed of my chains.” How can we emulate Onesiphorus in our love and care for one another during hardship or persecution? 4) Pastors are often tasked with the difficult job of confronting those that wish to cause division within the Body. How can you pray for your pastors in this responsibility?

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Leon Adkins are answering a question from 2 Timothy about one of Paul's statements near the end of his life. He says God is “able to keep” what he had committed to Him “until that day.” What had Paul committed and when is “that
Join me for an in-depth verse-by-verse study of 2 Timothy chapters 1 and 2 — a powerful and personal letter from the Apostle Paul written from prison to his spiritual son, Timothy.We'll explore:
This week we move into 2 Timothy and read Paul's advice to Timothy - this time reminding him of the family of faith that he has. He encourages him that he ought to take his faith as his own personal responsibility. We look at how regardless of the examples of faith we may have, we ought to make our faith persona; and pass on our example to those who follow after us.
Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 1:8-12Study Questions 1) When we go through suffering, what are some important questions to ask? How does the Gospel bring perspective and hope in our suffering? 2) Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed of the Gospel or of suffering for it (vs. 8). In what ways might believers face shame or fear in sharing the Gospel, and how can God's sovereignty in salvation (as seen in vs. 9) encourage boldness in sharing the Gospel? 3) In what ways are you tempted to be ashamed of the faith you process? In what ways does Christ meet you in that weakness and provide what you need to overcome that temptation? 4) How can we encourage our children to be bold in their proclamation of the Gospel? In what ways should we encourage them to “count the cost” of following Jesus? 5) How does the community of believers in our local church bring courage in sharing the Gospel and sharing in suffering? How do we encourage one another when one of us is in a season of suffering?

Angelica King 2 Timothy 1:6-12
The people of Judah we encounter in the Old Testament book of Joel are struggling after serious disaster. Crops have been decimated by infestations of locusts, while fire and drought have destroyed pasture land. The resulting lack is so significant that even temple offerings of grain and wine have been cut off. The prophet Joel calls all the people, from the greatest to the least, to pray. In response to their prayers, God promises that much-needed rain and the resulting abundant harvest are on the way. Their work in the fields - sowing, tending, gathering, etc. - can now proceed in joyful faith, knowing that an abundant, diverse harvest is sure. Our 'fields' and neighborhoods today are awaiting us too, and God is bringing His rain of righteousness to them at just the right time.
Pastor Josh begins a new series on 2 Timothy beginning with an exposition on 2 Timothy 1:1-7. Study questions below:1. Paul addresses Timothy as “my beloved child” (v. 2). How does this reflect the spiritual mentorship and covenantal relationship within the local church? How can we foster such relationships in our local congregation?2. Paul gives thanks for Timothy's “sincere faith” that was also in his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice (v. 5). How does this highlight the role of family in passing down the faith, and what does it teach us about God's sovereignty in working through ordinary means to preserve His elect?3. In verse 7, Paul says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.” How does this verse encourage us to face challenges in our Christian life with boldness?4. Reflect on verse 7: What fears or hesitations do you face in living out your faith or sharing the Gospel? How can the truth that God has given you a spirit of “power, love, and self-control” help you overcome these hesitations?5. Paul's gratitude for Timothy's faith (v. 5) and his prayers for him (v. 3) show a deep pastoral care. How can we better support and pray for our pastors and members to remain faithful in their calling?
On Sunday, July 27, 2025, Pastor Joe Troutman preached "By the Will of God" from 2 Timothy 1:1-2.
Today’s Bible Verse – 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Struggling with fear or insecurity? 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear—but one of power, love, and self-discipline. This verse offers truth and encouragement for anyone facing anxiety, self-doubt, or spiritual hesitation. In Christ, you are divinely equipped for courage, clarity, and peace.

The growth of the early church was a grass roots effort -- individuals shared their faith story to others, who then passed it along down the line. The Apostle Paul wrote many letters encouraging those missionaries to continue to do so, despite difficult times. His final letter to Timothy is a challenging reminder that the world still needs to hear about Christ, and it's our responsibility to faithfully hand that message to others like a runner passes along a baton.

According to Paul, healthy words come from Jesus. They accord with his gospel and redound to his glory. They are worth guarding closely.
When God calls someone to himself, he keeps that person until the end. He guards all those who entrust themselves to him.
The Lord Jesus Christ abolished death and brought immortality to light through the gospel. Do you know the gospel? Do you share it with others?
Salvation tells the glorious story that God set his love on his people before they even existed and then called them for the praise of his glory.
God targeted his chosen ones with grace before the ages began. That is the surest foundation imaginable to build your life upon.
