| Sermon Notes: | |
1 The Key to Living with Confidence 2 II Timothy 4:1-2 3 "I charge you." This command is used on six other occasions in scripture. It always precedes aclear and urgent command! It tells us, "Listen very carefully, this next part is life and death stuff." 4 II Timothy 4:3-4 5 The Problem "Many today are airbrushing the Word of God to make it palatable to those who go in for spirituality that costs nothing but the cover price of a best seller. Instead of our being conformed to the image of Christ, we want to conform His image, to oursad conditions." Dr. David Jeremiah 6 We need a sure Word from God. II Timothy 4:2 Paul gives us five commands concerning the Word of God; these directives nearlyjump off the page in their urgency and forcefulness. Preach! Be Prepared! Correct! Rebuke! Encourage! 7 PREACH THE TRUTH! Paul tells Timothy that it's not enough to just acknowledge what is right; he must announce what is right. The word he uses for preach means, to proclaim with formality and authority. 8 "Be ready. Be prepared in season and out of season." The words be prepared means "to stand by, to be on hand." This phrase conveys more than the idea of just being alert. There is urgency in being ready the way Paul describes it. It's the idea of a soldier standing on the wall at midnight, knowing theenemy is within firing distance. 9 We must also share God's Word intelligently. Paul uses three important words: Correct Rebuke Encourage 10 1 Our minds need to be convinced by the Word. To correct is to present an argument or a strong appeal, something like an attorney presenting a brief. 2 Our wills need to be convicted by the Word. Paul's second word is rebuke. It means to reprimand. It is synonymous with the word convict. In a spiritual context, it means to speak out against sin. 3 Our hearts need to be comforted by the Word. In Paul's advice to Timothy the relevant word is encourage. The idea is to encourage with the goal of bringing someone along a path towards a positive end. |
