2 Timothy 1:13-14 - “Hold fast.”

5/3/2020

 
Life is messy. But Jesus is real. These are truths we’ve been discussing during our study of 2 Timothy. Life this side of eternity is full of curve balls, blindsides, twists, and turns. These circumstances can loosen our grip, mess with our grit, and weaken our resolve. What are we to do? 

Follow Paul’s advice to Timothy. 

You see, life was messy for Timothy, too. There was the ever-present threat of persecution. One more Sunday for Pastor Timothy was one more reason for the Romans to come for him, his family, and his friends. 

Paul knew the circumstances Timothy was facing. He also knew Timothy. So in this second letter, Paul reminded Timothy that he was no longer an immature believer. He encouraged Timothy to hold fast (2 Timothy 1:13). 

Hold fast is such a strong, active phrase! It paints the picture of what to do when something or someone is trying to take away something of value from us.

The wind and the waves will try to pry what’s precious from us, but we can choose to hold fast. 
But hold fast to what? That’s what we considered in our time together studying 1 Timothy 1:13-14. 
Watch the replay of our live stream and be encouraged by the strength that Jesus gives us to hold fast.

​Read ahead for this Sunday!
 Read through, think through, and pray through 2 Timothy 2:1-7 in preparation for our live stream this coming Sunday. If you'd like to participate in the chat feature, you'll need to view the live stream in YouTube and be logged in to your YouTube account so we can see who you are.

    From Pastor Dom...

    When I first gave my life to Jesus, there were friends in my life who helped me to grow in my understanding of God, through His word, and for those friends
    ​I am forever thankful.

    I want you to know that you have a friend in this fight.

    Someone who is here to help you to grow in your understanding of God, through His word.

    I invite you to enter in to the never-ending adventure of knowing, loving, obeying and enjoying God.

    You will not regret it.

    ​Your friend,
    ​
    Dom
