Sermon Outline

  • One Charge (v.2 — "Preach the word!")
    • ... urgently
    • ... relevantly
    • ... patiently
    • ... intelligently
    • Two Worlds
      • The world that is coming (v.1)
      • The world that is passing away (v.3–5)
      • Three Victories
        • Desertion (v.9)
        • Treachery (v.14)
        • Abandonment (v.16)

          • Application Questions

          1. How would Timothy have understood Paul's command to "preach the word"?
          2. What characterizes the kind of preaching Paul has in mind? How does that apply to you? To our church family at St Andrew's?
          3. What does it mean to have "itching ears" (v.3)? How is Timothy to respond to this situation?
          4. Why does Paul anticipate so keenly the return of Christ (v.8)? Do you look forward to Christ's return? (See v.8 and v.18.)
          5. In what ways did the gospel prevail despite great opposition? Where does the gospel go forward today in conditions of great hardship? How you are engaged with Christians enduring hardship, persecution, or opposition for Christ's sake?
