Paul goes to the basics of living a Christian life, to live unashamed of the gospel and share in the suffering that God has called us all to. 2 Timothy 1:8-18

As Paul awaits execution he remembers his dear friend Timothy, whom he loves. This remembering leads him to write a letter in order to remind Timothy of some important truths. 2 Timothy 1:1-7

In this sermon, we discuss the coming of the Holy Spirit, the coming Judgement, the coming Kingdom of God, and our role to play in the story. Joel 2:28-3:21

Joel continues to warn the people of the coming Day of the Lord. He calls on them to return to the Lord so they can be restored. We, too, need to be warned about the coming Day of the Lord, so we can return to the Lord and avoid his wrath. Joel 2

Joel calls upon the people to lament the recent destruction by a swarm of locusts and repent because the Day of the Lord is near. How are these things connected and what is the Day of the Lord? Is this simply interesting or does it apply to us now? Joel Chapter 1

Timothy was trained in spiritual matters by both his mother Eunice and his grandmother Lois. That training prepared him for the opportunity to go on mission with the Apostle Paul. Yet Timothy, like us, needed ongoing encouragement, training and guidance. Deuteronomy 6:1-2, 6-8, 2 Timothy 1:1-12

Throughout the growth of the early church, whenever we see Barnabas, we see him bringing people with him. He was an advocate for others, using his influence and opportunities to connect others and give them opportunities. Acts 4:32-37, 9:26-27, 11:19-26, 12:25, 15:36-41, 2 Timothy 4:11

Priscilla and Aquila were a couple who lived their life on mission and supported the spread of the Gospel. What can we learn from them in order to be better supporting actors and actresses during our lifetimes? Acts 18, 1 Corinthians 16:19, Romans 16:3, 2 Timothy 4:19

God illustrates through the book of Ruth and specifically Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, His specific plan for discipleship and his redemptive plan for the world. God is always moving even when we can not see it.

On Palm Sunday and during Passion Week, we look backward and remember in order to look forward with hope. The King has come, and He will come again to solve our deepest problems. What will His return mean to you? Matthew 21:7-11; Revelation 7:9-10
