To close out our series in 2 Timothy - which is a letter by Paul (a disciple-maker) to Timothy (his disciple) - several people from Foothills share their discipleship testimonies.

Many would be tempted to pass over the final section of 2 Timothy as it contains Paul's personal greetings and requests to Timothy. However, as Pastor Mike shows us, there is something very profound about these words that gives us an imitatable example of what we should strive for as disciple-makers. 

Pastor Joe takes us through some of Paul's last words ever recorded in 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Paul knows his life is about to end, and in these three verses, he gives Timothy a summary statement of his life - the life of a poured-out disciple-maker. 

If you have placed faith and trust in Christ, then the Spirit of God has given you a gift. For Timothy, his gift was the gift of preaching, and in 2 Timothy 4:1-5, Paul charges him to use it. How has God gifted you? Pastor Mike uses the charge Paul gave to Timothy to charge you to use your gift in the ministry of disciple-making. 

Pastor Mike looks with us at 2 Timothy 3:10-17 and shows us that effective disciple-makers don't just pass information down to their disciples, but they also live imitatable lives in front of them. 

Every single Christ-follower is called to make disciples.  Pastor Joe looks at 2 Timothy 3:1-9 and reveals the disciple-making traps that we can fall into if we're not careful. Make disciples...but beware!

Pastor Mike shows us more disciple-making essentials from Paul's second letter to Timothy as he looks at 2 Timothy 2:19-26.

In his final instructions to his disciple, Paul makes sure to remind Timothy of the importance of remembering that the Good News is good news, and he instructs him on the importance of being careful with the use of "words." Pastor Joe shows us how these are essentials for not just Timothy but for all disciple-makers - including us.

Jesus made it clear that the cost of being His disciple is high. He also made it clear that making disciples is costly too. In 2 Timothy 2:1-13, Paul spells out this cost, not as a warning - but as an encouragement.

After encouraging Timothy, Paul now moves into a section of his letter where he offers his disciple a good dose of challenge. In this sermon, Pastor Mike looks at 2 Timothy 1:8-18 and shows us how challenge was another of Paul's effective disciple-making tools.
