What happens when a believer reaches their golden years? Is there more work to be done? What should life look like for the seasoned believer?  In his second letter to his understudy, Timothy, the Apostle Paul gives us some guidance on how to best utilize the last segment of our faith journey.

Send us a textSimeon and Anna, two biblical figures who exemplify living well in old age. Simeon, described as righteous and devout, was anticipating the Messiah and was assured by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he saw the Lord's Christ. Upon meeting Jesus, he blessed God and was ready to die in peace. Anna, a widow for 84 years, dedicated her life to fasting, praying, and serving in the temple, and recognized Jesus as the Messiah. Both Simeon and Anna lived their lives in anticipation of Jesus' mission and message, offering lessons in faithfulness and devotion to the end.Support the show"Finishing Well Ministries aims to encourage and inspire aging Christians to understand and embrace God's calling in their later years, equipping them to actively pursue and fulfill His calling.

Finishing Well - 2 Timothy 4:1-22

Send us a textHal Habecker discusses the biblical perspective on retirement, focusing on the Levites who retired at age 50 to serve in 48 cities across Israel. Despite the modern concept of retirement being less than a century old, Habecker emphasizes that the Bible addresses it implicitly. He highlights the Levites' post-retirement roles as pastors, judges, and teachers, stressing their continued contribution to the community. Habecker argues that older people, like the Levites, should remain active in their faith, mentoring younger generations and fulfilling God's purpose. He encourages continuous growth and service in all stages of life, advocating for a multi-generational approach to ministry.Support the show"Finishing Well Ministries aims to encourage and inspire aging Christians to understand and embrace God's calling in their later years, equipping them to actively pursue and fulfill His calling.

Send us a textThis study explores the lives of several key biblical characters to examine how they finished their earthly journeys—whether in strength, struggle, or redemption.Hal Habecker introduces a series on aging and fulfilling God's purpose, emphasizing that aging is a meaningful part of God's plan. Hal argues that older people are a valuable resource often ignored by culture citing 2 Timothy 4:6-8 and Psalm 90:12 to underscore the need for wisdom and purpose in aging. Hal encourages continuous service to God, regardless of age, and stresses that retirement does not diminish one's mission. He concludes by urging everyone to live out their calling as effective disciples for Christ.For our study, we'll be looking at many characters from the Old Testament and some from the New Testament.

Finishing Well (2 Timothy 4:6-8) by Faith Family Church Oak Grove

During the preaching, Watersprings Church focused on Paul's heartfelt farewell to the Ephesian elders, found in Acts 20:22-38. In this profoundly personal and decisive moment, Paul reflects on his ministry, warns of future challenges, and charges the leaders to remain faithful to their calling.Paul, bound by the Spirit and aware of the trials awaiting him in Jerusalem, shows unwavering resolve to complete his mission with joy. His message emphasizes living with an eternal perspective, valuing the gospel over personal comfort, and finishing well the race God has set before us.He reminds the elders of his faithful teaching, declaring the “whole counsel of God,” and urges them to protect the church from both external attacks and internal corruption. Paul warns of "savage wolves" who distort the truth and divide the flock, underscoring the need for bold, truth-grounded leadership.At the heart of his charge is a call to shepherd the church with humility, integrity, and sacrifice, just as Christ purchased it with His blood. Paul also emphasizes the importance of generosity, selfless service, and grounding ministry in the Word of God, rather than pursuing material gain.The passage closes with an emotional prayer and tearful farewell, a reflection of Paul's deep love for the church. His final encouragement is a reminder for all believers: to keep the gospel central, protect the unity of the church, and advance God's kingdom with unwavering faith and grace.Key Themes:Finish your race with joy and purpose.Preach the full truth of God's Word.Guard the church against deception and division.Lead with humility, not for personal gain.Love God, love the church, love others—now.This is a timeless call for all Christians, especially leaders, to stay faithful, courageous, and focused on what truly matters: glorifying God and advancing His kingdom.

2025 Misc | Finishing Well - 2 Timothy

Many of us have heard Sally's encouragement to mothers, but today we are doing something a little different. Many life advice books encourage us to "begin with the end in mind." When I was thinking about how I wanted to close out the Legacy of Faith series, I sat down with a pen and asked "Who do I see finishing the race well?" Immediately, Sally Clarkson came to mind. She hasn't just mothered well and retired to leisure, but has spent all her retirement energy on encouraging other mothers and trekking back and forth over the Atlantic to serve her grandchildren in the UK. As humans, it's easy to get stuck in the here and now and overlook who we want to become, but today let's chat with Sally about what it looks like to "Put on new tires and keep rolling for the Lord," instead of retiring from life.What does a "day in the life" look like for you right now?Sarah has shared in her book that she left home later in life. That meant you were empty nesters later in life... What made you decide to keep serving rather than settling down into mountain life? What are some things that strengthened your character at my age that have carried you into the next season? What do you wish you had learned sooner? Was there ever a time that things felt so hard you thought you might not keep serving?How has Jesus met uniquely in this chapter? What is the greatest joy you have discovered as you've reached grandmotherhood? You can find Sally Clarkson here and her book "Well Lived."You can find Elizabeth writing helpful hints ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus and disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or get access to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Additional study resources here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Original Music written and recorded by Jonathan Camenisch *affiliate links are used when appropriate.

Many lives start off well, but along the way, the consequences of personal poor decisions rock their world. The reality is, we all fail in some way or another. Gratefully, God's Grace and Mercy is greater than all our shortcomings. In E2E Pt 91 we are reminded of the evidence of this Biblical truth and how […]

2 Kings 15

This week, Jess Ninaber brought a timely and powerful word from Hebrews 12 about running the race of faith with endurance. Drawing from the context of early Christians facing persecution, we're reminded that the call to follow Jesus is not a casual stroll—it's a costly, all-in commitment that requires laying aside every weight and sin that entangles us. The Christian life is not a sprint but a pilgrimage, one that demands focus, perseverance, and a heart fixed on Jesus. Endurance isn't glamorous, but it's essential. This is a race worth finishing strong.

"Finishing Well"Series: 1st & 2nd Chronicles Speaker: Matt CoburnSunday MorningDate: 18th May 2025Passage: 2 Chronicles 14:1-16:14

Join Lisa and Laura as they continue their journey with you through Passionate Discipleship, a nine-week Bible study series. Deepen your faith this Easter season as we unpack Paul's wisdom to his closest friend, Timothy, reflecting on how we can apply it today. Grow in personal holiness, as we recognize the importance of our God-given mission to reach and raise the next generation. Today's episode is all about finishing the race. Do you have the endurance to keep running or has grace run its course? Do you persevere when life is good, but as soon as you hit a roadblock, want to give up? If so, it is time to grab a cold drink and get back in the race—we are cheering you on! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. 2 Timothy 4:7: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. 2 Timothy 4 Numbers 28 Revelation 21:4: He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain. Acts 20:24: But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 2 Timothy 4:8: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearance. 2 Timothy 4:9: Do your best to come to me soon. 2 Corinthians 6:11: Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide. 2 Timothy 4:21: Do your best to come before winter. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. They say that we don't choose saints, they choose us. Ask God in prayer to reveal the saint that has chosen you, and learn about his or her life, asking for intercession to help you run the race and finish well. If you were trapped in a cell and death was near, what three personal possessions would you ask for? Show mentions.

We want finished products and well cooked food. Why would we hold ourselves to a different standard? To finish this life well we need to:1. Know our Divine Purpose - To Know God2. Live with Holy Spirit Empowerment3. Serve God with Radical ObedienceWatch the message at: https://www.abundant.church/sermons

Leadership isn't just about how you start—it's about how you finish. In this message from The Making of a Leader series, Pastor Tim Dunn unpacks the key elements of Finishing Well. Through the lives of Saul, Absalom, and David, we'll explore the importance of embracing proving seasons, addressing problems instead of ignoring them, and staying engaged in the battles that matter. Whether you're leading in your family, workplace, or ministry, these biblical principles will challenge and equip you to be a leader that God can use. Drawing from 1 Samuel and 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Dunn explores how God often develops leaders in the hidden places before revealing them to the world. If you've ever felt overlooked, discouraged, or uncertain about your calling, this message will encourage you to embrace the process, trust God's timing, and understand that great leaders are forged in the caves before they wear the crowns.Through stories of David facing Goliath, Elisha's vision of angelic armies, and the promises of God's protection, Pastor Dunn reminds us that no battle we face is greater than the power of the Lord of Hosts. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, outnumbered, or uncertain, this message will encourage you to trust in Jehovah Sabaoth—the God who goes before you and fights for you.

Retirement is a transition many look forward to, but how can Christian healthcare professionals navigate this season with purpose, faith, and joy? In this episode of CMDA Matters, we share a powerful CMDA livestream featuring Pastor Bert Jones, CMDA's VP of Missions & Member Care, and Dr. Steve Sartori, founder of CMDA's Coaching Ministry. Together, they explore what it means to finish well, stay intentional, and embrace God's calling in this new stage of life. Drawing from Paul's words to Timothy about keeping the faith, this conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical guidance for anyone preparing for retirement. Tune in for insights on finding fulfillment beyond your healthcare career and stepping into retirement with confidence and joy.  

In this powerful exploration of Gideon's story from the book of Judges, we're reminded that our spiritual journey is not just about how we start, but how we finish. Gideon's life serves as both an inspiration and a cautionary tale, showing us the importance of staying connected to God even in times of success and exhaustion. We see how easy it is to fall into idolatry and compromise when we lose focus on our true purpose. The message challenges us to consider: Are we building memorials to our own accomplishments, or are we consistently giving glory to God? It encourages us to be vigilant against the 'little foxes' that can spoil our spiritual fruit, reminding us that maintaining our faith is an ongoing process. This teaching invites us to reflect on our own lives and ask ourselves if we're truly living as 'sons and daughters of the King,' consistently reflecting His image in all we do. Chapters Chapter 1: Foundations of Faith and Legacy The sermon begins by reflecting on the legacy of faith and the importance of building on spiritual foundations. Chapter 2: Gideon's Victory and Exhaustion This section delves into Gideon's military success and the challenges he faced in the aftermath of victory. Chapter 3: The Perils of Prosperity and Idolatry This chapter focuses on Gideon's decline into idolatry and the consequences for Israel. Chapter 4: Finishing Well in Faith The sermon concludes with lessons on how to finish our spiritual journey well, unlike Gideon.

"If my God preserves you, and preserve you he must, or else you are not his; if he will keep you, and keep you he will if you have committed your souls to his faithful guardianship, that an honor awaits you!" These words by Charles Spurgeon perfectly summarize the objective promise for every believer in Christ. God has promised that every Christian will finish this life clinging to Christ. He has done all the work necessary to fulfill this promise and will see it to completion. Yet this doesn't mean we are without responsibility. We must press on, fight, and run forward. We must run the race set before us. We can do so confidently, knowing He will make our efforts effective. This week Dr. John Snyder and Teddy James continue our discussion from last week about how our union with Jesus Christ should quicken our spiritual pace in 2025 and beyond. We pray this becomes a watershed year for you—one where you can look back and see that you made greater use of God's means of grace than in 2024, continuing this pattern in the years ahead.

Last week we mentioned a new series with Teddy James and Jeremy Walker. This week we decided to postpone that series because Dr. John Snyder and Teddy James recorded a two-episode series for the conclusion of 2024 and beginning of 2025. John and Acey Floyd recorded a series focusing on Union with Christ several months ago. As we said during those episodes, there was much more we could say on the topic, and so we wanted to revisit it with a particular emphasis on looking ahead to a new year. Likely everyone has heard the adage "Once saved, always saved." While that is a true statement, it is also incomplete and far too small to truly convey the depth of finishing this life united to Christ. But one of the biggest problems with that statement is that it leaves no room and no application for the warnings of Scripture. It also leaves large questions for those who apostatize from the faith. This is dangerous for every Christian because it means we will miss what God is saying in those passages, and it could cause us to finish slowly and poorly. To help us think about finishing well, John and Teddy discuss what faith is, what apostasy is, and why understanding those things is crucial to living a life and dying a death close to Christ.

In this week's episode, we reflect on how to prepare for Advent. During this busy season, it is easy to spend more time preparing our home than our hearts and we chat about the need for slowing down, quieting our hearts and surroundings, and becoming attentive to God's presence in our daily lives. We also share practical ways we prepare and wait for the coming of our Lord at Christmas.

Be sure to subscribe to our weekly email to receive each episode, discussion questions, and videos to your inbox.   Journal Questions: Ask the Holy Spirit: What do you want me to be present to this season? Where do I need hope in my life? Where do I lack peace in my life? Where do I need joy in my life? Where do I need to birth joy in my life?   Discussion Questions: What practices do you incorporate in Advent to embrace the season of preparation? When will you take time for prayer this week and throughout Advent? How can you better embrace Advent rather than just tolerate it? How can you slow the interior pace of your heart in Advent?   Quotes to Ponder: “The liturgy of Advent…helps us to understand fully the value and meaning of the mystery of Christmas. It is not just about commemorating the historical event, which occurred some 2,000 years ago in a little village of Judea. Instead, it is necessary to understand that the whole of our life must be an ‘advent,' a vigilant awaiting of the final coming of Christ. To predispose our mind to welcome the Lord who, as we say in the Creed, one day will come to judge the living and the dead, we must learn to recognize him as present in the events of daily life. Therefore, Advent is, so to speak, an intense training that directs us decisively toward him who already came, who will come, and who comes continuously.” (St. John Paul II)   Scripture for Lectio:  “Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 1:13)   Sponsor - The Little Rose Shop: Discover the beauty of integrating faith into your everyday life with The Little Rose Shop.
