Topic: Endurance in trouble time

Thesis: All Christians need the Word of God to endure

Purpose: The purpose of this text is to show that “ let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

Introduction: Endurance or Patient is;

The ability to persevere in a task or calling.

The Christian is called to endure in the face of trial or opposition, and his endurance brings spiritual rewards.

Pastor Brooks today anniversary is one of many rewards God is blessing you with because of your faithfulness as the pastor of Lily Baptist.

and may God continue to bless you and your family.

The purpose of this epistle to 2 Timothy the third chapter was to encourage Timothy in his ministry at Ephesus.

The primary theme of the letter is the need for faithfulness in the face of hardship and “Perilous Times”(v v 1-5).

“Last days” (3:1).

Many passages in the N.T. indicate the writers were even then living in the “last days” (cf.

; ; ; ).

The phrase views our present age as the final historical stage before the predicted “Day of the Lord” spoken of so frequently in the O.T. prophets (, ).

“Terrible times” (3:1).

This passage, with others, silences the optimistic view of some that the Gospel message is destined to convert the majority of mankind and usher in an era of peace before Jesus returns.

In contrast, Paul sees an increase in evil with moral and social conditions trending from “bad to worse.”

The Christian’s challenge is not to usher in universal peace, but to remain true to God in troubled times and aggressively promote the saving Gospel of Christ despite corruption within the church and persecution

“A form of godliness” (3:5).

The preceding description is of persons who increasingly put themselves and their own desires ahead of every other consideration.

“Form” is morphosis, which emphasizes outward form.

People want to keep religion—but they do not want an authentic Gospel which demands they surrender their sins and make a full commitment to true godliness.

Religious charlatans (3:6–9).

Paul’s scornful description of those who prey on the weak is devastating.

As is the critique of those who want to appear learned but at the same time hold on to “all kinds of evil desires.”

The names of the magicians who opposed Moses (cf. ) are not given in the O.T., but their description as men of “depraved” (i.e., utterly corrupt) minds matches the character and motivation of the false teachers Paul foresees emerging during these last days.

Those who want to live godly (3:10–13).

There’s really no reason for the wicked to persecute Christians who adopt the world’s basic values and seek simply to get along here.

“Don’t tip the boat” is advice followed by too many modern believers.

But the “godly” life Paul encourages is one of active commitment to what is right.

This means it’s impossible to remain silent about evils and injustice in our society.

Pornography, abortion, and the erosion of moral standards is something that Christians increasingly resist.

It is this, active resistance, that brings persecution.

God-breathed (3:16).

The Gk. word describes ships, their sails filled, carried along over the seas.

Paul says every Scripture is the product of the Spirit’s work.

He filled the writer and so carried him along that the words produced, though they bear the mark of the writer’s personality, remain the true and certain words of God Himself.

The use of Scripture (3:16–17).

Scripture is adequate to protect us from false teaching and to strengthen us for persecution.

Specifically, the Word of God is useful for: (1) “Teaching” (didaskalos), a general word; (2) “Rebuking” (elegmos), a word associated with convicting of sin or error; (3) “Correcting” (epanorthosin), a term that means restoring to an upright or original condition; and (4) “Training” (paideia), rearing a child by training and guiding him in how to live.

With this, we have all we need to equip us for good works.
