Day 16: 2 Timothy 4:1-5

What charge does Paul give to Timothy?

What reason is given for this charge? (v3-4)

Why do you think Paul gives the charge in ‘the presence of God and of Christ Jesus’? (v1)

How can you be tempted to change or soften the gospel truth to be ‘what itching ears want to hear’? How will you prevent that?

Today’s Prayer Suggestion:

Pray that God would form us into a congregation who both receive and encourage faithful teaching — eager to hear the gospel, ready to respond to it, and wise to anything that distracts us from Christ. Ask God to strengthen our ministry team and leaders to keep teaching the Scriptures clearly and with grace.
