Message: “The Word of God” from Zach Schlegel

2 Timothy 3:10-17

Introduction

Since things break down and wear out in this world, we often equate new with improved. There are times we look at the pain, challenges, and persecutions that come with following Jesus and we may think, is it because the message is outdated? Is it time for a ‘new and improved’ version of Christianity? Change is good when we think about Paul’s call to not be conformed but rather to be transformed by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12:2). But it’s we who need to change, not God, nor his message. Knowing the pressure Timothy is under as a pastor in Ephesus, Paul writes to encourage him to continue with what he’d learned and believed from God’s word. Continuing, is part of guarding the gospel.
