Why Do Doubts Arise in Your Hearts?

Luke 24:36-49
The resurrection of Christ is foundational to the faith. Today there are many who don’t accept this truth as historical fact, and even his own disciples had to be convinced of it. What did Jesus say and do to convince those closest to him that he had actually been raised from the dead? Should we expect him to do the same for us today?

Fulfill Your Ministry

2 Timothy 4:1-8
As Paul sat imprisoned, the poison of false teaching was at work in the Ephesian church As his death loomed ahead, Paul made an urgent appeal to Timothy: Don’t give up! Finish the task you’ve been called to! His concern was first and foremost that the gospel message continue to advance. In order for this to happen, Timothy needed to grasp and run with the gospel-baton that Paul was handing off to him.

All Scripture

2 Timothy 3:14-17

But You, Continue…

2 Timothy 3:10-15

Why We Must Go

Matthew 28:16-20
Why should anyone engage in missions? If we focus upon ourselves, then it’s not hard to make a case against it. Jesus answers our fears and concerns, however, with two powerful statements about his mission.”All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” and “I am with you always.” Because of these two truths, there is nothing more foolish and fruitless than to oppose the mission of Christ–but there is also nothing more safe, wise, and profitable than to take up that mission.

Endure Everything

2 Timothy 2:8-13
Oftentimes, we see the church as a place of comfort. This is true, but it is not the whole truth. Jesus also desires the church to be the means of advancing his gospel. As this text demonstrates, when we do that, the church will become a place where we share in suffering for the gospel. There is a cost, a reward, and a promise for the church that engages in the task of advancing the gospel of Christ.
