But the Lord Stood by Me - 2 Timothy 4:16-22
"But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth." 2 Timothy 4:17 (ESV)
On Sunday, we will gather to study Paul’s final words in the Bible. The last seven verses from 2 Timothy have so much to teach us, and I believe the Holy Spirit will speak into our hearts.
We will learn from Paul’s experience and teaching that:
-We should not let resentment find a place in our hearts.
-When we stand up for the truth of God's Word, even if people abandon us, God will always be there for us.
Death should not be feared.
-There is a constant opportunity to love and care for our neighbor.
“To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.” - Charles Spurgeon
I appreciate your prayers and hope to see you on Sunday.
