“Our mission is to build a Christ-centered community by preaching, teaching, and reaching our community through Christ-centered ministries.”

It is nearly impossible to do the first two things we have talked about in preaching and teaching if are failing to accomplish the third – reaching. To build an authentic Christ-centered community, we must be connecting with people. Paul knew this which is why he encouraged Timothy to use his gifts in the ministry to reach others.

Background: in 2 Timothy, Paul was going to die soon in prison and wanted to make sure Timothy knew what things were most important in life and ministry. He wanted to Timothy to reach others and shared with him some steps to overcoming any hesitation to expand his reach.

Big Idea: 2 Steps to expanding our reach (2 Timothy 1:6-12)
