“GOD IS CALLING YOU”

          Paul is telling Timothy to remind the believers in Ephesus of their being workers of God:

 

I.                   TO BE DILIGENT. (2 Timothy 2:15)

II.                TO BE AWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS. (2 Timothy 2:16-18)

III.             TO BE HOLY/GODLY/RIGHTEOUS. (2 Timothy 2:19)

THE ELEMENTS OF A STRONG SPIRITUAL LIFE

TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:1-7

INTRO:

          In our text, Paul presents four key elements of a strong, mature, obedient spiritual life using the vivid analogies:

 

I.                   THE TEACHER. (2 Timothy 2:2)  “Entrust”

The first metaphor is that of a teacher teaching a teacher, who in turn, teaches other teachers, who then teach still other teachers.

 

II.                THE SOLDIER. (2 Timothy 2:3-4) “Endure hardship”

Paul not only calls Timothy to serve the Lord as a soldier but as a good solider of Jesus Christ. A spiritual Christian does not simply do minimum duty for his Lord, but serves Him with everything he is and has.

III.             THE ATHLETE. (2 Timothy 2:5) “Competes accdg to the rules”

The third figure Paul uses to illustrate characteristics of a strong spiritual life is that of an athlete. The phrase competes as an athlete translate the verb athleo which means to contest, wrestle, struggle. The idea is that of a struggle that requires great determination to win.

 

IV.              THE FARMER. (2 Timothy 2:6) “Hardworking”

The hard working farmer starts his hard and demanding work early and go home late..

 

 

CONCLUSION: (2 Timothly 2:7) (1 Corinthian 15:58)

 

JESUS, OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST

 

TEXT: HEBREWS 4:14-16

INTRO:       

          This morning we are going to consider the book of Hebrews which tell us the

Superiority of  Christ and I believe that’s the reason why the writer did not even mentioned his name.

 

          There are three things that make Jesus our great High Priest.

 

I.                   HIS PERFECT PRIESTHOOD. (HEBREWS 4:14)

II.                HIS PERFECT PERSON. (HEBREWS 4:15)

III.             HIS PERFECT PROVISION. (HEBREWS 4:16)
