Key Verses: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

Introduction

“You then my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus…” (v1)

The best thing you can do for those you disciple is to have your own heart strong in the gospel of God’s grace

“One of the most important discoveries of my life has been that the Gospel is not just for non-Christians; it’s for Christians too. I used to think the Gospel was simply what non-Christians must believe in to be saved, while afterward we advance to deeper theological waters. But what I’ve come to understand is that once God saves us he doesn’t then move us beyond the Gospel. Rather he moves us deeper into the Gospel. The Gospel, in other words, is every bit as important for growing as a Christian as it is for becoming a Christian in the first place. The Gospel is the fuel that makes Christians go.”

How God’s Grace Strengthens Us (Luke 7:36-50)
