The God You Need to Know (05-05)

Throughout this week, there's been a theme that's been sticking out to us and that is that God wants to have a one-on-one personal relationship with us. 

It's not about religion. It's about a relationship with the Father through His son Jesus and that's what we're going to focus on today here on back to the Bible. 

(John 4)

The God You Need to Know (04-05)

Jesus made claims that were absolutely audacious, but they were also absolutely accurate.  In today's study we'll examine what Jesus said about himself and His father. 

(John 14)

The God You Need to Know (03-05)

So far this week in our study, The God You Need to Know, we learned that God is in control, that God is a loving father.  Today, we’ll learn that God, who is a loving father, cares and is so in control, it cost him the life of His Son. 

(Luke 23)

The God You Need to Know (02-05)

Yesterday, as we began our week of study entitled "The God you need to know", we focused on the fact that regardless of what you may think or feel, God IS in control. Today, we’ll be looking at God being a loving father. 

(Luke 23)

The God You Need to Know (01-05)

Welcome to this, the first edition of Back to the Bible for 2023 and we'll do what we’ve done internationally, for over 80 years, getting back to the Bible!

All this week, we're going to be looking at some specific things that God wants us to know and today, we're going to find out the very first thing, and that is this... God wants you to know that God is in control. 

(Psalm 115)

2 Timothy - Pauls Encouraging Words (05 of 05)

Paul completes his encouraging letter by assuring Timothy that God has spoken and his word won’t change. It is “God-breathed-out” and profitable. The Word is to be preached with authority because there will be some who pervert it for their own purposes. God’s Word alone is the evidence that God has not been silent.

(2 Timothy 3:16-4:8)

2 Timothy - Pauls Encouraging Words (04 of 05)

Paul warns Timothy that perilous times will dominate the last days and then he lists samples of negative (lovers of themselves, money, proud, blasphemers, unloving, etc.) and positive (following in doctrine, behavior, faith, longsuffering, perseverance, love, etc.) behaviors Timothy should look for.

(2 Timothy 3:1-7)

2 Timothy - Pauls Encouraging Words (03 of 05)

In encouraging Timothy Paul uses several metaphors to teach Timothy the various disciplines of service, e.g. the disciplines of a son, a teacher, a solder, an athlete, a farmer and a diamond cutter.

(2 Timothy 2:1-21)

2 Timothy - Pauls Encouraging Words (02 of 05)

Paul commends his friend Onesiphorus because he “often refreshed” Paul, “was not ashamed” of Paul, and was diligent in finding Paul. Onesiphorus is apparently already dead, but Paul uses him as a shining example to Timothy of what faithful commitment is all about.

(2 Timothy 1:15-18)

2 Timothy - Pauls Encouraging Words (01 of 05)

Today we begin our one-week series in 2 Timothy entitled Paul's Encouraging Words. 

Paul knew he was about to die and that Timothy would be left alone. He writes this final letter to encourage Timothy, and us, to serve God faithfully, courageously, confidently and consistently in troubling times.

(2 Timothy 1:1-14)
