Pastor Larry Stephens returns to the sermon series on Timothy and Titus.

II Timothy 1:1-12 “Protecting The Treasure.”

Application and Prayer Points:

Application:

• “Who are you discipling?” By the end of this journey through II Timothy, I hope you can identify someone in your life that you are discipling. Someone to whom you can pass down gospel truths.
• Remember where God brought you from and where you are now. Commit to raising and equipping the younger generation to walk more closely with Jesus.
• God did not give you a spirit of fear but of confidence in Him. The spirit of fear is not from God. Instead, He gives His people boldness (fearlessness) and self-control.
• Unapologetically share your faith in Jesus and the gospel. Because of all the Lord has done, and because He brought you this far, and because you have no reason to fear, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.
• Discipleship Reflection: What Must We Do To Pass Down and Protect the Gospel Truth? 1. Pray and Rely on the Word and Spirit of God. 2. Consider Church Membership as a Top Priority. 3. Make Worshipping with Your Church a Necessity.

Prayer Prompts:

• Pray that the Lord will give you a renewed and revived desire to make disciples. Pray that God would bring someone in your path to disciple or lead you to someone to disciple you. Since we are all still disciples of Jesus, age is not an issue.
• Pray that God would give you the boldness to share the gospel of Jesus with a stranger or someone you have known for years. Pray that God would give you the words to say.
