2 Timothy 4 | 11/21/2021 | Pastor Matt Jones. As we mourn the recent passings of loved ones, we turn to the Apostle Paul's writings at the end of his life in his second epistle to his beloved spiritual son Timothy. What are the most important things Paul wants to convey? Preaching the word of God. Persevering to the end. Withstanding the suffering brought on by people who desert the mission and people who oppose biblical teaching. Being strengthened by God, directly and through His church.
