II Timothy 2:14-26 To Be Unashamed

Application and Prayer Points:

Application:

• To Be Unashamed Will Produce The Approved Worker. To serve Jesus with all you have, but He is worth it; you remind them (followers of Jesus) of these truths.
• There is a right way to express the truth of the gospel and to avoid quarrelsome or hurtful words that do nothing but harm the message of the gospel. Avoid using words that have no eternal purpose. The worker who is unashamed will avoid vain, irreverent babbling.
• Steadily pursue faith, love, and peace. A person committed to Kingdom work will rejoice when the church is exhibiting Christ’s righteousness, a firm, unshakable faith, and a love for Christ and other believers.

What are some ways to dismantle harmful and inappropriate controversies?

1. Identify when conflicts are present.
2. Recognize areas of immaturity.
3. Confront sin in the congregation
4. Identify and tear down idols.

Prayer Prompts:

• Pray that the Lord will diminish your desire to gossip, slander, or use language that does not build up the body of Christ.
• Pray that you will make the gospel of Jesus about all else, even our nation.
• Pray the Lord would equip Highland to be mature followers of Jesus.
• Pray we will work hard and serve Highland and the Kingdom of Christ with the right motives and gospel-centered goals.
