This Sunday we finish the topical series on several marks of healthy churches with a study on leading one another and healthy church leadership. If the church’s ultimate task is to display God’s glory, then the channels that He uses are the prayerful obedience of His Word manifested in expository preaching, biblical theology, the glorious gospel, genuine conversion,  faithful evangelism, meaningful membership, loving discipline, discipleship together, and shepherding leadership. We’ve studied what God says about each of these topics besides the last one and Lord-willing have sorted out from the biblical data how God intends for the church to be built up into Christ.

The next book of the Bible we’ll study together is 2 Timothy. This is Paul’s last will and testament to his disciple Timothy. It is the last recorded epistle the Holy Spirit left us of Paul’s before Paul was executed by Nero and it urges Timothy to finish well as one entrusted with the rich treasure of the Gospel.

I’d encourage you to read its four short chapters as many times as you possibly can to let its message of being entrusted with the Gospel penetrate your soul. Pasted below is the outline of the book from Dr. Ray Van Neste.

Opening (1:1–2)

Exhortation to Endurance for the Gospel (1:3–2:13)

Thanksgiving for Timothy’s sincere faith (1:3–5)

A call to bold endurance in ministry, part 1 (1:6–14)

Examples, positive and negative (1:15–18)

A call to bold endurance in ministry, part 2 (2:1–13)

Dealing with False Teachers (2:14–3:9)

Timothy in contrast to the false teachers (2:14–26)

Description of the false teachers (3:1–9)

Exhortation to Timothy in Contrast to False Teachers (3:10–4:8)

Call to hold fast to Scripture and Paul’s example (3:10–17)

The ultimate charge (4:1–8)

Conclusion (4:9–22)
