Introducing 2 Timothy

2 Timothy is Paul’s final letter – a very personal and touching letter to the younger man he has mentored over many years. Paul is imprisoned again and is aware that his time is running out. He is passionately concerned that the baton of the gospel be effectively passed to the next generation of leadership. Paul is deeply concerned about the challenges facing the church from without and from within. He urges Timothy to moral and spiritual purity. He urges Timothy to remember what he’s learned from Paul in their ministry together. He urges Timothy to hold fast to the Scripture – God’s provision for maintaining the health of the Church.
