2 Timothy 4:6-22 ESV
The Goal: A Life Poured Out
2 Timothy 4:6-22
Woody Armstrong
Overview: In closing his letter, Paul uses himself as a model to Timothy (as well as to us) about finishing life well by fulfilling the ministry that God has given each of us to do. To finish well, one must remain focused on the Lord’s goal for our lives. Here Paul gives some examples of what that means, what it looks like.
01. Regardless of age, gender, education, etc., you have a ministry to fulfill, a goal still to be reached.
02. Prepare, train, and nurture yourself to meet the goal.
03. Be ready to deal with hard times, obstacles, doubts, fears.
04. Expect the Lord’s help.
Questions for Discussion and Discovery:
1. Would it change anything within you if you viewed death as an “act of worship”? And if “yes,” then how; if “no,” then why not?
Questions for Discussion and Discovery:
2. Through Paul’s various letters, we see that he experienced numerous defeats and disappointments in his ministry (for example, think of Corinth, Galatians, etc.). Yet in verses 6-8, Paul expresses a real sense of accomplishment. Why is that, do you think?
Questions for Discussion and Discovery:
