Entrusted
Apr 2101:02:55Tap to summarizeAs we conclude Entrusted, we reflect on the instructions Paul charged us with in 1 and 2 Timothy. As believers, we are called to guard the treasure we have been entrusted, entrust the treasure to others, and uphold the treasure by the way we live. Verses Used:2 Timothy 1:142 Timothy 2:152 Timothy 2:21 Timothy 1:18-19Discussion Questions:1) In 2 Timothy 1:14, Paul instructed us to “guard the treasure” that has been entrusted to us? What is this treasure, and how do we guard it?2) In 2 Timothy 2:2, Paul instructed us to “entrust this treasure to faithful men who will be able to teach others.” What does this mean, and how can you do this in your own life? Can you give examples of ways you have done this in the past or how you plan to do so in the future?3) What command does Paul entrust to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:18-19? Why is it important to do so? What is the impact of not doing so? Can you share examples of how to do this?4) What was most impactful to you in 1 Timothy and why?5) What was most impactful to you in 2 Timothy, and why?
Transcribe →To Die is Gain
Apr 1400:28:58Tap to summarizePaul's final written words serve as both a challenge and an encouragement to the believer. Though others deserted him, the Lord stood with him and strengthened him to proclaim the gospel even as a prisoner of Rome. He did not fear physical death; he was certain the Lord would bring him safely home. Like Paul, we are called to proclaim the gospel and often may stand alone in doing so. Paul's example challenges us to live for Christ until, upon death, we attain our highest gain.Verses Used:Philippians 1:212 Timothy 4:16-22Acts 13:50-51, 14:1-2, 5-7 &19-222 Timothy 4:18Matthew 13:44-45Discussion Questions:1) At the time of his defense, everyone deserted Paul. What is your response when you feel deserted? What was Paul’s response, and what can we learn from him?2) Though others abandoned Paul, who did not, and what did He do for Paul? What was Paul’s mission at this moment? (See 2 Timothy 4:17)3) Luke 9:62 and Hebrews 10:37-39 call us not to shrink back from service to the Lord. What do these verses mean, and when are you most tempted to turn back? What resolutions must you make to avoid doing so?4) What did Paul mean when he wrote, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain?” How ought these words to direct the course of our lives?5) How does our future eternity compare with our present reality in Romans 8:18 and 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, and on what does Paul encourage us to focus when we are afflicted? How would doing so impact your perspective and encourage your heart?
Transcribe →Who Are You?
Apr 700:23:10Tap to summarizeIn this section of Scripture, we get a glimpse of Paul’s humanity as he makes some final requests to Timothy. He provides updates on fellow workers in the faith, where we can observe and reflect on their impact not just on Paul but also on the church. How do WE reflect these people Paul mentions, or where should we see warning signs? And what can we learn from how Paul handled these relationships? Verses Used: 2 Timothy 4:9-15Romans 15:5-6Matthew 6:24Isaiah 41:10Romans 12:19Discussion Questions1) Paul said Demas loved this present world and deserted the mission. Why is the love of the world and the love of self incompatible with being a follower of Christ?2) There are four faithful men listed in 2 Timothy 4:10-12. Who are they? How do you think they supported the work of the ministry? Would you be considered a faithful worker? Why or why not?3) Why is it significant that Paul requests Mark to be brought to see him and that he considers him useful for service? What does this tell you about God’s ability to redeem the mistakes of our past and enable us to be useful again?4) What does Paul say of Alexander the coppersmith in 2 Timothy 4:14-15, and what warning does he give Timothy? How do his instructions balance both wisdom and trust in the Lord, and what can we learn from this about those who mistreat us?5) Even in prison, it seems Paul desires to study, read, write, and continue ministry however he can. What challenge does this offer to your own life? How can we be better at persevering in all areas of our lives?

Lifer-Christian
Apr 600:38:06Tap to summarizeOn this month’s episode of Walk Worthy, we’re discussing the “Lifer-Christian”—a believer raised in the faith and under the teaching of Scripture. It’s an incredible blessing, but what are some of the temptations that come along with it? Join us as we talk about the danger of self-righteousness, the power of our testimony, and the challenge to kindle afresh the gift of our salvation.
Transcribe →Press Forward
Mar 2400:36:15Tap to summarizePaul urges us to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. This is not a passive pursuit; rather, it demands action on our part. Each charge is connected, instructing us to press forward with purpose in our walk with the Lord, knowing a reward awaits us.Verses Used:2 Timothy 4:6-8Ephesians 6:12Hebrews 12:2-3Ephesians 6:13Psalm 103:2Discussion Questions:1. Paul spent much of his life being poured out in service to the Lord. In what areas of your life do you pour yourself out in service to the Lord and to what extent do you rejoice in this service and sacrifice?2. If you were to explain to someone how to fight the good fight and keep the faith, what would you tell them? What should be their aim? What tools should they employ? What counsel would you give?3. Paul spoke of a runner running a race. How can we run our race well? Is there any area you’re running in, but lack the endurance to finish the course? If so, how can you find encouragement to keep running?4. In 2 Timothy 4:8, what does Paul say he will receive, and who else will receive this? Are you eagerly awaiting this day? 5. Paul looks forward to the crown of righteousness. How does the promise of eternal reward shape the way we live day to day? How much of your life is made up of wood, hay, and straw of earthly things vs. the gold, silver, and precious stones of eternal pursuits?
Transcribe →The Clock is Ticking
Mar 1700:30:18Tap to summarizeDescription: Paul gives Timothy a solemn charge to preach the Word faithfully, warning that the time will come when people will stop their ears to the truth, preferring a message that comforts rather than convicts. As we see this unfold around us, Paul's words challenge us to remain steadfast and to faithfully fulfill the ministry we have been entrusted.Verses Used:2 Timothy 4:1-5John 5:22-23Ephesians 4:1-21 Kings 12 6-112 Timothy 1:13Verses:Discussion Questions:1. What four things does Paul instruct us to do in 2 Timothy 4:2, and with what demeanor should we carry out this instruction? Can you give examples of each one? 2. How should knowing that we minister in the presence of God, who is ready to judge the living and the dead, impact our preaching, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting?3. Paul said people will "accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires/lusts. Instead of speaking words according to the people’s desires, what would a true prophet/preacher do, according to Jeremiah 23:21-22?4. How is pursuing teaching in accordance with our lusts and fleshly desires in direct opposition to what Scripture calls us to do? (See Galatians 5:24, 2 Timothy 2:22, & 1 Peter 2:11?)5. What ministry has God entrusted to each one of us, according to 2 Corinthians 5:18-20? To what degree are you fulfilling this ministry, and how can you be more thoughtful about doing so?
Transcribe →Fully Equipped
Mar 1000:26:28Tap to summarizeAs Paul prepares Timothy to carry on the gospel ministry, he urges him to remain faithful to the example he has seen modeled in Paul’s life. Paul reminds Timothy—and believers today—that persecution is not merely a possibility but a promise for those who pursue a godly life in Christ. Yet God has not left His people unprepared. He has given us His Word, breathed out by Him and sufficient to teach, correct, and train us in righteousness. Through the Scriptures, God fully equips His people for the gospel mission He has entrusted to them.Verses Used:2 Timothy 3:10-11Philippians 2:19-212 Timothy 3:12-13Acts 20:241 Peter 4:12-132 Timothy 3:14-15Luke 24:272 Timothy 3:16-171 Peter 1:22-25Discussion Questions: 1)What nine things did Paul say Timothy followed in 2 Timothy 3:10? Discuss the importance of each one and how they work together in a mature believer's life.2)The Bible says all who desire to live godly will face persecution. Do you have any specific examples from your own life of being ostracized for your faith? How did you react?3)In Acts 5:40-42, what was the disciples' reaction to persecution, and how does this challenge you in your own life? How does the Bible call you to treat those who persecute you?4)Paul warns Timothy that "evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived." To what source does the Bible attribute false doctrine, and how can we fortify ourselves against it?5)How does 2 Timothy 3:16-17 describe Scripture's origin, and what is it useful for? How have you seen this to be true in your own life and the lives of others?
Transcribe →Clouds without Water
Mar 300:30:02Tap to summarizePaul warns about men and women who outwardly appear to be in the faith, but inwardly are not transformed by the power of the gospel. False teachers and false converts bring confusion and harm to those who follow them. Scripture equips us to discern between the genuine and the counterfeit and enables us to protect ourselves from their destructive doctrines.Verses Used:2 Timothy 3:1-5Jude 1:12-132 Corinthians 11:13-152 Timothy 3:6-92 Peter 2:1-3, 13-14Jude 1:20-211. How does Paul describe the character of those who claim religion, but have not actually been transformed by the gospel? How do you see this to be true in society today?2. How does the Bible describe the character of false teachers and their motivation? How does this contrast with the character a genuine teacher is to have?3. 2 Timothy 3:9 says false teachers/prophets will “not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all." How are the Old Testament false prophets Jannes and Jambres a picture of that reality? How have you seen this to be true among modern-day false teachers?4. What are we called to do regarding false teachers/converts?5. What is the end result for false teachers/prophets?
Transcribe →Gluttony
Mar 200:34:19Tap to summarizeOn this month’s episode of Walk Worthy, we’re discussing a viewer request—gluttony. We live in a culture of consumption, whether it’s food, media or material items; but the Bible is clear that believers are called to live lives of self-control. Join us as we discuss what causes us to be gluttonous and how God gives us the power to walk in self-control as we’re called to.
Transcribe →The Lord's Bond-Servant
Feb 2400:34:44Tap to summarizeThe Bible calls us not to be quarrelsome, but to show kindness to all. Faithful obedience to Christ may place us among people with whom we disagree, but even in these moments our lives should reflect the fruit of the Spirit, shaping our attitude, words, and temperament. By doing so we can be a witness to the lost who are held captive by the enemy. Verses Used:2 Timothy 2:23-26Proverbs 20:3Proverbs 26:21Proverbs 15:1Ephesians 4:29Discussion Questions: *As Christians, we must not be quarrelsome. How does a quarrelsome person act & how does this hinder our relationship with and our testimony to others? *In what areas of your life do you tend to be quarrelsome or contentious? How can you work on this? *As Christians, we are called to be kind to all, able to teach, and patient when wronged. Which one do you most struggle with and why? What standard does the Bible call you to in that area? *According to Galatians 6:1-3 and 2 Timothy 2:25, what demeanor should we have when correcting others? Why do you think this is important? *What should be the end goal of any correction offered, according to 2 Timothy 2:25-26? How would working toward this goal impact your demeanor and the correction you offer? Can you think of any real-life examples?
