In this sermon, Pastor Joe Rigney examines the first chapter of 2 Timothy showing the Apostle Paul's care and concern for this spiritual son, Timothy. Paul encourages Timothy and gives him instructions and warnings on how to navigate the difficult situations Timothy is facing in pastoral ministry. Paul's final encouragement to Timothy is to rely on God's power to guard and keep Timothy. Paul states, with confidence, "I know him, and because I know him, I am convinced that he will guard what has been entrusted to me, which includes you, and so, because I know him, I can entrust you to him and call you to fan into flame the gift of God and to follow the example you have in me."
