Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 4:16-22.

2nd Timothy 4:16-22 Study Questions

1) In what ways do we see Christ standing with and strengthening us in our lives? What are some personal ways you have seen this to be true?

2) How is Jesus our advocate? In what ways does He advocate for us before the Father? What about this do you find comforting?

3) Paul speaks of being “rescued” through all his trials. How does his understanding of being rescued look different from that of the world? How should this change the way we think about the trials we go though ourselves?

4) What are some of your main takeaways from this study? In what ways has going through this letter changed or confirmed how you think about suffering and our eternal hope?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 4:9-15

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:00:00 -0400

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 17:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

Paul uses the imagery of a drink offering being poured out to signify that the
time had come to end his ministry. In what ways does this depiction describe
the mentality we should have regarding our own service to Christ?
In verse 7, Paul uses the words “fight” and “race” to describe the Christian
life. In what ways do both of these depictions speak to the reality of living in this world as Christians? How does the local church help in fighting the fight and running the race?
How do we as Christians guard our hearts against the fear of death? How
does Paul’s “eternal perspective” give us some insight on where our hearts and minds should be grounded?
How often do you think about Heaven? What are the things you are most
excited about? Why is it important that we dwell on Heaven more often then we do now?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 4:1-5

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 17:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 4:1-5.

2nd Timothy 4:1-5 Study Questions

1) Paul admonishes Timothy in verse 2 to preach the Word both in and out of season. What are the dangers of the Word only being preached when it is convenient or acceptable? What should we look for in a preacher or church to determine whether or not the Word is truly being preached?

2) In light of verses 3-4, how should believers discern and respond to teachings that cater to “itching ears,” such as the prosperity gospel? What role does the local church take in this response?

3) In verse 3 Paul says “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions…” What are the dangers of only surrounding ourselves with teachers that say what we want to hear? How do we avoid this?

4) How can we pray for the pastors of local churches that have been tasked with the responsibility of preaching the Word of God in a culture where it will bring them ridicule or suffering? What are some practical ways you can encourage your pastors and fellow members in this?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 3:10-13

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh continues our study by preaching on 2 Timothy 3:10-13.

Study questions:

Out of the 9 marks that Paul uses to describe his life, which do you resonate with the most and why?
As you seek to live like Jesus, what trials have you personally come across in your life? In what ways has God shown His grace to you in those times?
Paul says in vs 12 "Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." What role does the local church play in preparing for and responding to persecution?
Paul says in vs 13 "evil and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived." How can you as a local church member play a part in identifying and combating these "imposters" that seek to infiltrate the church?

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 16:00:00 -0400

(v. 22) Flee sinful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace alongside God's people

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 2:14-19

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 18:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 2:14-19.

2nd Timothy 2:14-19 Study Questions

1) What are some examples of “quarreling about words” as seen in verse 14? What are some ways we can keep ourselves from falling into this practice? How does the local church play into this?

2) Paul instructs Timothy to present himself as a worker that is approved by God? In what ways do we have a responsibility to present ourselves in the same way?

3) In verse 17, Paul specifically calls out Hymenaeus and Philetus for the damage they have caused the Church. How would you respond to someone that says we shouldn’t call out false teachers in our day and age?

4) What is the relationship between God’s sovereignty in salvation and man’s responsibility to live according to God’s Will? How does God “knowing who are His” give you confidence in your spiritual walk?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 2:8-13

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 17:00:00 -0400

Pastor Colton preaches from 2nd Timothy 2:8-13

(vs 8) - Christ is risen as the promised King - the foundation of our faith.

(vs 9-10) - God's Word cannot be bound - it runs free to gather his people.

(vs 11-13) - Union with Christ means life through death, glory through endurance, and hope through His faithfulness.

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

Pastor Andrew preaches from 2nd Timothy 2:1-7

As you are able, please consider the following:

(1) Where do you find your strength for the Christian journey?

(3) How do you share in suffering with Christ?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 1:13-18

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 22:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh preaches from 2nd Timothy 1:13-18

Study Questions

1) What does it mean to “guard the good deposit” and what practical steps can you take to accomplish this in your daily walk with Christ? What role does the local church play in this?

2) In verse 15, Paul mentions that “all who are in Asia” had deserted him, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. How are we to interact with those that have seemingly walked away from the faith or find themselves in unrepentant sin?

3) Paul speaks of Onesiphorus’s kindness in our text and how he was “not ashamed of my chains.” How can we emulate Onesiphorus in our love and care for one another during hardship or persecution?

4) Pastors are often tasked with the difficult job of confronting those that wish to cause division within the Body. How can you pray for your pastors in this responsibility?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 1:8-12

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 19:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 1:8-12

Study Questions

1) When we go through suffering, what are some important questions to ask? How does the Gospel bring perspective and hope in our suffering?

2) Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed of the Gospel or of suffering for it (vs. 8). In what ways might believers face shame or fear in sharing the Gospel, and how can God’s sovereignty in salvation (as seen in vs. 9) encourage boldness in sharing the Gospel?

3) In what ways are you tempted to be ashamed of the faith you process? In what ways does Christ meet you in that weakness and provide what you need to overcome that temptation?

4) How can we encourage our children to be bold in their proclamation of the Gospel? In what ways should we encourage them to “count the cost” of following Jesus?

5) How does the community of believers in our local church bring courage in sharing the Gospel and sharing in suffering? How do we encourage one another when one of us is in a season of suffering?

Keep the Faith: 2 Timothy 1:1-7

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0400

Pastor Josh begins a new series on 2 Timothy beginning with an exposition on 2 Timothy 1:1-7. Study questions below:

1. Paul addresses Timothy as “my beloved child” (v. 2). How does this reflect the spiritual mentorship and covenantal relationship within the local church? How can we foster such relationships in our local congregation?

2. Paul gives thanks for Timothy’s “sincere faith” that was also in his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice (v. 5). How does this highlight the role of family in passing down the faith, and what does it teach us about God’s sovereignty in working through ordinary means to preserve His elect?

3. In verse 7, Paul says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.” How does this verse encourage us to face challenges in our Christian life with boldness?

4. Reflect on verse 7: What fears or hesitations do you face in living out your faith or sharing the Gospel? How can the truth that God has given you a spirit of “power, love, and self-control” help you overcome these hesitations?

5. Paul’s gratitude for Timothy’s faith (v. 5) and his prayers for him (v. 3) show a deep pastoral care. How can we better support and pray for our pastors and members to remain faithful in their calling?

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 23:00:00 -0400

Good Friday is a day to remember the weight of sin and the horrific cost of redemption. Yet, it is also a day of hope, as it points to the ultimate victory of Christ's resurrection. Which is why we are urged to examine our faith and trust in the blood of Christ as our refuge and salvation.

Key Points

Remembering Leaders: Christians are called to remember and consider their local leaders who faithfully teach God's Word. These leaders are examples of faith and practice, and their lives should reflect a love for and devotion to God's Word.
Imitating Faith: Believers are encouraged to imitate the faith of their leaders, not because they are perfect, but because their lives point to Christ. This includes observing their doctrine and how they live it out.
Christ's Unchanging Nature: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This truth provides stability and assurance for Christians, especially in times of hardship and change.
Warning Against False Teachings: Christians are warned not to be led away by diverse and strange teachings. Instead, they should rely on the grace of God for spiritual strength, rather than outward practices or traditions.

Application

Pray for and support local church leaders who faithfully teach God's Word.
Examine the lives and teachings of leaders to ensure they align with Scripture.
Hold firmly to the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ and His Word.
Be cautious of teachings that deviate from the gospel and rely on God's grace for spiritual growth.
