Persist In This
No one likes a quitter. It is better to follow through, persist, and get to the end, even if you lose or it doesn’t work out. Endurance is a pretty major theme in the Bible and a distinguishing characteristic of believers. So, it follows that Paul, after laying out what the gospel is, would implore Timothy to persist in knowing, living out, and teaching the gospel. As Christians, you and I will have the biggest and best impact for Jesus if we embody all that the gospel is. That’s what we’ll see as we look at 1 Timothy 4:11-16 together on Sunday.
This week is a Family Service, coming off of an incredible week of High Five, so we’ll be joined in the worship centre by the kiddos. Harvest Kids will remain open for ages 0-4. The worship will lean on the setlist from day camp, and we’ll have a highlight video to celebrate all that the Lord did this past week in the lives of the 306 campers and 190 volunteers! My message will be a wee bit shorter too! It’s going to be a great Sunday together!

I will have the biggest and best impact for Jesus when I...
...ignore the naysayers. (v. 11-12a)
Pillar: Proclaiming the authority of God’s Word without apology.
...model Christ. (v. 12b)
Five characteristics of a young believer who makes an impact:
1) Speech – anything and everything said is godly
2) Conduct – anything and everything done is godly
3) Love – putting God and others first
4) Faith – faithful, trustworthy, reliable
5) Purity – holy living; integrity of heart
…stoke my gifts. (v. 13-14)
2 Timothy 1:6
…keep growing. (v. 15-16a)
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.
G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World
It’s not that people have tried to live the Christian life and found it not as advertised. It’s that people have found it to be too hard and haven’t even tried.
...expect results. (v. 16b)
Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.
William Carey
Acts 4:12
