Service Outline
A weighty, emotional letter…
- The risk of shame (v8, 12, 16)
- Why there is no need to be ashamed of Jesus (vv8-10)
- No need to be ashamed of the Apostle Paul (v8, 15-18)
- The Main Task: Guard the Gospel (vv11-14)
-
- 2 Timothy 1:14 is the centrepiece of the letter
- Timothy’s gift?
- 1 Timothy 4:13-14
Things we need to remember (to avoid being ashamed)
- It is only the gospel that saves
- If you stick with the gospel, you will suffer
- V8 …join me in suffering for the gospel
- V12 …this is no cause for shame
- Jesus guards the gospel and us
- V12…I am convinced he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day
