  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Lewis
• 0:08
  Harold, assistant pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland
• 0:12
  County in Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Lewis as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  If God said thou shalt not fornicate, you can't just go
• 0:39
  move in with somebody because you say, well, when women we're
• 0:42
  in love and we're going to get married, but then get married
• 0:45
  and then move in and listen, I'm not standing here acting like I
• 0:48
  haven't committed that sin. That was me.
• 0:54
  When you know better, you do better.
• 0:56
  You can repent, you can turn around, you can change.
• 1:01
  When you know the Holy Spirit prompts you and lets you know
• 1:04
  that what you're doing is wrong, you can turn from that sin and
• 1:08
  play by the rules. Wow, that's pretty rare.
• 1:11
  Pastor Lewis was just very vulnerable in sharing his own
• 1:15
  struggles and living in obedience to God's Word.
• 1:18
  And Pastor Lewis also said when you know better, you do better.
• 1:23
  Would to God that this would actually be the case for each of
• 1:27
  us as followers of Jesus when we come into a better awareness of
• 1:31
  what God's Word teaches. May each of us be people who
• 1:35
  obey what we learn. And honestly, that's the risk of
• 1:40
  listening to teachings like this.
• 1:42
  Once you've heard, you're accountable.
• 1:44
  Now here's Pastor Lewis in second Timothy chapter one.
• 1:48
  We have today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:52
  Therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ
• 1:59
  Jesus. Be strong in the grace that is
• 2:01
  in Christ Jesus. So once again, Paul makes it
• 2:04
  clear to Timothy. Timothy, I know that you've been
• 2:08
  a little timid, sometimes a little fearful.
• 2:11
  We talked about that earlier in chapter 1.
• 2:13
  He's been a little fearful, a little timid.
• 2:15
  We also know that Timothy, his health wasn't all that great.
• 2:19
  You know, Paul had told him a while back, look, I know your
• 2:22
  stomach's a little, you know, a little bad.
• 2:24
  So take some wine for your stomach.
• 2:25
  His health is not that great. And then on top of that, he's
• 2:28
  young. So Timothy really needed a lot
• 2:31
  of encouragement. And he had a church that was
• 2:34
  right in one of the most Pagan cities in the world in Ephesus.
• 2:40
  And he was the pastor of that church.
• 2:43
  So he had to let Timothy know. Timothy, you're not going to be
• 2:45
  able to lean on your own strength, brother.
• 2:48
  So be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
• 2:55
  Be strong in the grace that is in him.
• 2:58
  That grace is not only unmerited favor for Timothy that he would
• 3:02
  be able to be in a place to be able to do this ministry or it's
• 3:07
  not just the fact that he's saved that we're all saved by
• 3:09
  grace. It's not even just that, but to
• 3:13
  be in the grace, to be strong in the grace that is in Christ
• 3:18
  Jesus. That grace is also the
• 3:20
  enablement for Timothy to be able to do all that the Lord has
• 3:25
  called him and assigned him to do your ministries.
• 3:29
  Whatever it is that God has given you to do your ministry,
• 3:33
  you'll never be able to fulfill it.
• 3:35
  If you try to depend on your own strength and your own power,
• 3:39
  you'll never be able to do it. You're going to get out, you're
• 3:42
  going to give out, you're going to get frustrated.
• 3:44
  We've all done it. We've all done it.
• 3:46
  You get frustrated, you know you have to deal with some
• 3:49
  opposition that can wear you out.
• 3:54
  We have tons of pastors all the time that's giving up the
• 3:57
  churches because they can't deal with it anymore.
• 4:00
  And if you're trying to do this in your own strength, I don't
• 4:03
  care what your ministry is, you will not be able to do it if
• 4:07
  you're dependent on your own strength, your own wisdom, your
• 4:11
  own logic, your own knowledge. You need the grace that is in
• 4:16
  Christ Jesus. You need the grace that's in
• 4:20
  Christ Jesus. Pray for that grace, that
• 4:22
  enablement that gives us what we need to do the ministry.
• 4:27
  So he's saying to Timothy and these things, verse 2 and the
• 4:31
  things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit
• 4:35
  these to faithful men. And you know what?
• 4:38
  I love that because when you go back and really look at what
• 4:41
  Paul is talking about, these things that you heard from me.
• 4:44
  Well, let's look at first of all, who did Paul get it from,
• 4:48
  right? Who did Paul get it from?
• 4:50
  If you go to the book of Galatians, because you see one
• 4:54
  of the things that we have to learn is that the source of what
• 4:59
  is given to you or what is said to you is just as important as
• 5:03
  what is said to you. Kids got that down already.
• 5:07
  Kids got that down. If you have more than one kid, I
• 5:10
  guarantee you, you've heard this before.
• 5:13
  Johnny, cut off the TV and do your homework.
• 5:16
  Who said Everybody can relate to that, right?
• 5:21
  You got kids you can relate to that.
• 5:23
  Who said It's time to come in now It's time for The Who said?
• 5:29
  It's always Who said? Because kids understand that the
• 5:33
  authority is not in what's being said.
• 5:35
  The authority is in who's saying it.
• 5:38
  If it's just my brother that's saying it, I'm ignore that.
• 5:43
  But if they tell me mom or dad said it, OK, I'll do it.
• 5:47
  Who said, and that's exactly what we need to understand when
• 5:52
  it comes to doctrine, when it comes to the word of God, when
• 5:56
  we're being preached something. Who said, who said?
• 6:00
  Look at what he says here in Galatians.
• 6:04
  This is what he says here. Paul is letting Timothy know,
• 6:08
  just like he's letting us know that what Paul is giving to
• 6:11
  Timothy, he didn't just get it from man.
• 6:13
  See, when Paul got saved, he didn't just go right to the men
• 6:16
  and ask them to teach him the gospel.
• 6:18
  That's not what happened. Paul was taught the gospel
• 6:21
  directly from the revelation of Jesus Christ himself.
• 6:24
  Look at what it says here in Galatians chapter one, verse 11.
• 6:27
  But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which
• 6:31
  was preached by me is not according to man, verse 12 For I
• 6:36
  neither received it from man nor was taught it, but it came
• 6:40
  through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
• 6:43
  So Paul's saying what I'm giving to you, Timothy.
• 6:47
  I got it from Jesus Christ. This is legit.
• 6:50
  This is legit, this is for real. You don't have to worry about
• 6:54
  questioning it. So this is what I want you to
• 6:57
  share with other people. So now we go back here to Second
• 7:00
  Timothy chapter 2 right there in verse 2.
• 7:03
  And he says, and the things that you heard from me among many
• 7:07
  witnesses, commit these things to faithful men who will be able
• 7:13
  to teach others also, not just to men.
• 7:16
  Don't just commit them to men, but commit them to faithful men.
• 7:20
  Commit them to other men who will handle this word faithfully
• 7:24
  and who will handle it reverently.
• 7:27
  Other men who were faithful men who were seeking the Lord,
• 7:31
  faithfully seeking the Lord themselves, men who were sitting
• 7:35
  under the Word, men who are receiving and being fed the Word
• 7:39
  just as much as they're being taught the Word.
• 7:42
  It is so important to be in ministry and to continue to sit
• 7:46
  under and be fed the Word of God and be fed the Word of God.
• 7:52
  You know there's times when your hunger needs to be fulfilled and
• 7:55
  your thirst needs to be quenched for the Word.
• 7:57
  So this is a faithful man. This is a faithful man or
• 8:01
  faithful woman and we have great teachers here.
• 8:04
  We have great teachers that we have men who come here and teach
• 8:07
  on Wednesday nights that that are just spirit filled women who
• 8:10
  are teaching on Sundays, Spirit filled.
• 8:14
  So many opportunities where the Word of God is being given out
• 8:18
  in the same form and the right keep in the form of it and
• 8:22
  keeping the pattern of it is being given out and that word is
• 8:25
  also being given to others. Others are being taught.
• 8:28
  Others are being taught because there's faithful men that are
• 8:31
  receiving the word. If I am not ministering one
• 8:37
  Sunday, or if I'm not ministering on a Wednesday
• 8:40
  night, man, that is such an opportunity for me to come and
• 8:43
  sit and receive because God still wants to speak to me.
• 8:50
  I can't teach kids. I can't teach anybody if I'm not
• 8:53
  being fed myself. I have to be fed.
• 8:56
  So he says give it to faithful men who will be able to teach
• 8:58
  others also. And that's able to teach doesn't
• 9:01
  just mean able to communicate it able to teach also means able to
• 9:04
  learn, able to learn or willing to learn, even more important,
• 9:09
  willing to continue to learn. Then he goes on verse three.
• 9:14
  You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier.
• 9:18
  So he's saying here, if you look at it and we put it all in
• 9:21
  sequence, we're saying here he says be strong in the grace that
• 9:25
  is in Christ Jesus and the things that you have heard among
• 9:29
  many witnesses, commit thou to faithful men.
• 9:33
  So now from this point in the next couple verses, he is going
• 9:37
  to explain to us what are some of the characteristics of a
• 9:41
  faithful man, a faithful pastor, a faithful servant, a faithful
• 9:46
  Christian. What are some of the
• 9:47
  characteristics? And the first one, it's going to
• 9:50
  give you 3 back-to-back. And the first one is here, right
• 9:54
  here in verse three. He says you therefore must
• 9:57
  endure hardship as a good soldier.
• 10:02
  As a good soldier, you must endure hardship as a good
• 10:05
  soldier. What is a good soldier?
• 10:07
  A good soldier is someone, a soldier that is committed to his
• 10:12
  mission. He's committed to his mission.
• 10:15
  He is somebody who understands what he's called to do and will
• 10:19
  fulfill that mission at all costs.
• 10:23
  Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, as all of those, they all had
• 10:29
  missions, they all had purpose and they had to be faithful to
• 10:33
  that mission, be faithful to that purpose that helps keep our
• 10:37
  country safe. And he's saying to Timothy,
• 10:41
  Timothy, they must be able to endure hardships as a good
• 10:44
  soldier. That endure hardships mean to be
• 10:46
  able to share in the hardships, be able to take their place with
• 10:51
  the hardships, you know, take their share of it, of the
• 10:54
  hardship as a good soldier. And then he goes on, He says,
• 10:57
  here no one engaged in warfare and tangles himself with the
• 11:01
  affairs of this life. And it's interesting because
• 11:06
  there he's basically looking at, let's separate what it means to
• 11:09
  be a civilian from what it means, OK, to be in the
• 11:12
  military. If someone's in the military,
• 11:15
  they cannot live the way they live in the military like they
• 11:18
  do in civilian life. Just like you can't live both
• 11:22
  lives if you're a Christian, you can't live like the world, can't
• 11:25
  live like the world. You can't be entangled in the
• 11:28
  things of the world. And that entanglement means to
• 11:32
  be twisted. It means to be twisted or to be
• 11:35
  caught up. We can't be caught up or twisted
• 11:38
  in the things of the world. We can't be involved in things
• 11:41
  that's going to take our focus or our time away from the
• 11:44
  gospel. If they do start to take our
• 11:47
  time away from the gospel, that's a work of the enemy
• 11:50
  trying to defeat us, trying to cause us to become ineffective.
• 11:55
  We can't be both in the world and be a soldier for the Lord at
• 11:59
  the same time. There's too many entanglements.
• 12:02
  There's a lot of entanglements. Drugs is an entanglement.
• 12:05
  Alcohol is an entanglement. Being overly involved and get
• 12:08
  rich schemes are entanglements. Being involved in the cares of
• 12:12
  the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lust of other
• 12:15
  things, as it says in Mark 419, those things are entanglements
• 12:21
  and it really brings us into perdition and destruction.
• 12:24
  It destroys us and it destroys our testimony.
• 12:26
  Paul said, Timothy, you can't be involved in that.
• 12:29
  Got to be separate from that. And at the end of that same
• 12:32
  verse it says that he may please him who enlisted him as a
• 12:36
  soldier. Jesus said at one time that I
• 12:38
  only do what pleases my father. I only do what pleases my
• 12:42
  father. I don't waste time on things
• 12:44
  that don't please my father. I know who sent me, and I'm here
• 12:47
  to do the will of him who sent me.
• 12:50
  This is what Jesus says over and over and over again, and that's
• 12:54
  where we have to be. We have to do what pleases Jesus
• 12:57
  Christ. The one who called us, the one
• 13:00
  who saved us, the one who justified us, the one who will
• 13:04
  glorify us ultimately is Jesus Christ.
• 13:06
  And we have to do what pleases Him and not what pleases the
• 13:11
  world. And then in verse 5 here it
• 13:13
  says, and also now this is the second illustration.
• 13:16
  And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned
• 13:20
  unless he competes according to the rules.
• 13:23
  So he's now talking about comparing the Christian Walker
• 13:26
  being a pastor to actually being an athlete.
• 13:29
  There's a lot of disciplines in being an athlete.
• 13:32
  They're disciplined about their workout.
• 13:34
  They're disciplined about what they eat.
• 13:35
  They're disciplined about what they do and how they do it.
• 13:39
  And they got to play by the rules at this particular time
• 13:42
  they were in the Olympic Games. You know, and Greeks and Romans
• 13:46
  are very, very enthusiastic about sports, very enthusiastic.
• 13:51
  And that's, and Paul uses the athletic or a sports analogy
• 13:55
  quite a bit because they are, but they're also very stringent
• 14:00
  about the rules. If you think about how many
• 14:02
  people get disqualified from the Olympics, from breaking rules,
• 14:07
  it happens all the time. Sometimes they disqualify before
• 14:10
  they even get to the event. Sometimes they disqualify while
• 14:12
  they're in the event because they break the rules.
• 14:16
  And Paul was saying to Timothy, we got to play by the rules,
• 14:18
  man. And this is Timothy.
• 14:22
  This is the rule book. This is the rule book.
• 14:25
  We play by these rules. I'm sorry, but we can't make up
• 14:28
  our own rules in ministry. We can't make up our own rules.
• 14:32
  If God said thou should not commit murder, then we can't
• 14:35
  think that we can kill babies because we can cover our sins.
• 14:38
  If God says that marriage is between a man and a woman, then
• 14:42
  we can't think that we can go grab somebody with the same sex
• 14:44
  and go live with them because we say we love them.
• 14:47
  That's not the rules. That's not the rules.
• 14:51
  If God said thou shalt not fornicate, you can't just go
• 14:54
  move in with somebody because you say when women, we're in
• 14:57
  love and we're going to get married, but then get married
• 14:59
  and then move in and listen, I'm not standing here acting like I
• 15:03
  haven't committed that sin. That was me.
• 15:09
  When you know better, you do better.
• 15:11
  You can repent, you can turn around, you can change.
• 15:15
  When you know the Holy Spirit prompts you and lets you know
• 15:18
  that what you're doing is wrong, you can turn from that sin and
• 15:22
  play by the rules. And Paul's telling Timothy,
• 15:25
  Timothy, play by the rules, man. Don't disqualify yourself by not
• 15:29
  playing by the rules. So then the third illustration
• 15:32
  is here in verse 6. The hard working farmer must be
• 15:35
  first to partake of the crops. And that's true in a couple
• 15:39
  sense because you have the ministry of the financial
• 15:42
  aspect. You know the labor is worthy of
• 15:44
  his wages. So that's one aspect of it.
• 15:47
  But the other aspect of it is just in the word itself.
• 15:51
  As we read and study the Word, we're first partaker of the
• 15:54
  things that the Lord is saying to us.
• 15:56
  When we come and we teach here from the sacred destiny, we
• 15:59
  share the Word of God with you. And when you get convicted,
• 16:03
  that's because we got convicted first as we were studying it.
• 16:07
  We were convicted first. We were the first partake of
• 16:10
  that conviction. The Lord dealt with us in
• 16:14
  studying it. So we are first partaker of it.
• 16:17
  And then here he also says here in verse 7.
• 16:20
  Now consider what I say and the Lord will give you or in some
• 16:24
  verses may say, may the Lord give you understanding in all
• 16:27
  things, but it says here that Lord will give you understanding
• 16:30
  in all things. Meditate on what was said
• 16:33
  Timothy, think about all those things that I just said and then
• 16:36
  I love how he finishes up here. That section of it in verse 8
• 16:40
  when he says remember Jesus Christ, remember Jesus Christ.
• 16:46
  King James Version says remember that Jesus Christ, but in a
• 16:51
  number of the other versions says remember Jesus Christ.
• 16:57
  And that's a spot that you can stay on for quite some time
• 17:01
  because in ministry, sometimes Jesus Christ gets lost because
• 17:07
  we get busy. We get busy, we get involved, we
• 17:11
  get over involved, and then we start thinking the ministry's
• 17:14
  about us, that the ministry is us.
• 17:16
  I own the ministry and we're doing this now.
• 17:18
  We're no longer doing it for Jesus Christ, but I'm doing it
• 17:20
  now for results. I'm doing it now because I like
• 17:23
  the way it feels. I'm doing it now because pride
• 17:25
  is starting to kick in when people say, oh, you're doing
• 17:28
  such. I mean, we got to remember Jesus
• 17:31
  Christ. This is about Jesus Christ.
• 17:35
  Jesus said, if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto myself.
• 17:39
  And we all have to be careful with that.
• 17:41
  We all do. That's just something that the
• 17:44
  enemy uses to try to get us derailed and try to get us to be
• 17:49
  deflected from what it is that we're supposed to do.
• 17:53
  So the Lord is saying that we have to be humble and remember
• 17:55
  Jesus Christ. Look how he did ministry.
• 17:59
  But it says here Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised
• 18:03
  from the dead according to my gospel.
• 18:06
  Paul said, listen, I'm doing all of this because I am sure that
• 18:10
  almost goes back there to verse 12 and chapter 1.
• 18:14
  When he says I am sure, I know, I'm persuaded of the one that
• 18:19
  I'm doing this for. He is the Messiah.
• 18:22
  He is the one who is of the seed of David.
• 18:24
  He's the one who was raised from the dead just like it was
• 18:27
  prophesied. He's the Messiah.
• 18:30
  I'm not doing this for somebody that's going to take me to a
• 18:33
  dead end. He's able to keep my life that
• 18:37
  I've given to him. He's able to keep it.
• 18:40
  So he says, remember Jesus Christ.
• 18:43
  And then he goes on. He says, according to my gospel,
• 18:46
  verse 9, for which I suffer trouble as an evil doer, even to
• 18:51
  the point of chains, but the word of God is not chained.
• 18:56
  Paul said I suffer and I go through all these persecutions,
• 19:00
  these afflictions, these beatings, being in the deep,
• 19:04
  almost drowned in, you know, I go through this when I go to
• 19:08
  cities, They're constantly, you know, men are are taking
• 19:11
  different oaths to kill me. I go through all that for the
• 19:17
  gospel because of what I know to be true.
• 19:21
  And even though they may chain me, they may put me in prison
• 19:25
  and they may stop me from traveling around.
• 19:28
  But the word is not chained, It's not constricted, It's not
• 19:33
  confined over. In Acts 28, around verse 30 or
• 19:38
  so, it talks about how Paul, he was in jail, but he was given
• 19:42
  the freedom because he got favor from God.
• 19:45
  So he was given the freedom to continue to receive and to teach
• 19:48
  people who were coming to him while he was in Rome.
• 19:52
  And that word was going out to other people and then from other
• 19:55
  people, and then to other people and then to other people.
• 19:57
  The Word of God is not confined. It is not in chains.

  There are people who are sitting in hospital beds, laying in
• 20:04
  hospital beds, sick. But when people come in, they're
• 20:08
  not talking about their condition.
• 20:10
  They're not talking about how bad they feel.
• 20:12
  They're sharing the gospel. They're sharing the gospel of
• 20:15
  Jesus Christ. And that word is going out,
• 20:18
  nurses. And you know our brother Ron,
• 20:20
  who end up passing of cancer, Ron, you go to visit him, you're
• 20:24
  getting the gospel, you're getting the gospel.
• 20:27
  You get a hello, maybe an embrace, but you're getting the
• 20:29
  gospel. And everybody who comes in that
• 20:32
  room, every nurse, they come into that room.
• 20:35
  And there's other people that I've visited from here that when
• 20:38
  someone walks in that room, I don't care if it's a doctor, a
• 20:40
  nurse, a receptionist, they are hearing something about the word
• 20:44
  of God and about the goodness of Jesus Christ.
• 20:47
  The word is not confined. Paul said it's not confined.
• 20:52
  And in verse 10, he says, and then he gives the reason why he
• 20:56
  endures these things. He says therefore I endure all
• 21:00
  things for the sake of the elect or the chosen, that they also
• 21:07
  may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
• 21:15
  Paul says I do all this, I suffer all these things, I take
• 21:21
  all these beatings, I take all the persecutions.
• 21:25
  I'm dragged before council, pro councils, I'm dragged before
• 21:29
  kings, governors beaten, taking slashes back, totally busted
• 21:37
  open from being flogged. But Paul said, I do this for
• 21:44
  those who need to hear the gospel, the ones who will hear
• 21:48
  the gospel and believe. There are people out there that
• 21:52
  will hear this gospel and believe.
• 21:55
  We don't know who they are. We don't know who we are.
• 21:58
  We walk down the street, we go into a grocery line, we pick up
• 22:01
  the phone, we walk through our neighborhoods.
• 22:05
  Lord gives us a passion to share the gospel.
• 22:08
  We don't know if the people that we're sharing the gospel with is
• 22:11
  going to be one of those who will believe.
• 22:13
  We don't know. It's not our place to know that
• 22:17
  God knows. We're just supposed to forecast
• 22:21
  it. We're supposed to share it.
• 22:23
  We put it out there and let the Holy Spirit does its work.
• 22:28
  Let the Holy Spirit does it work.
• 22:30
  He takes what we shared and it goes into the heart and the Holy
• 22:34
  Spirit brings it to fruition. And they believe, Paul said.
• 22:38
  I'm doing it for them. I'm doing it for them so that
• 22:43
  they can obtain salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal
• 22:48
  glory. Remember, the gospel is a
• 22:51
  promise of life. So this eternal glory that he's
• 22:55
  talking about is the coming Kingdom in which we will have no
• 22:59
  more dying, no more sickness, no more crying.
• 23:04
  He's going to wipe away every tear, not even night, because
• 23:09
  God Himself is going to be our light.
• 23:12
  We have it in Christ Jesus, Amen.
• 23:15
  So Paul is encouraging Timothy as we are encouraging you state,
• 23:22
  of course, don't give up. Don't give out what you're
• 23:26
  doing. Regardless of whether you think
• 23:29
  that you see results or whether you think that nothing's
• 23:32
  happening at all. Continue to do what God has
• 23:35
  called you to do. Stay faithful to the Word.
• 23:38
  Stay faithful to the calling, to the mission, to the Co mission.
• 23:44
  God is at work and He's using you.
• 23:47
  He's using you, He's using me, He's using all of us to make a
• 23:52
  difference according to His purpose.
• 23:57
  Thank you for tuning in to Living Waters of Grace with
• 24:00
  Pastor Louis Harrell. We're currently in the books of
• 24:03
  First and Second Timothy. Some of the things included in
• 24:07
  these New Testament letters from Paul are that the young and
• 24:11
  newly established Pastor Timothy was being encouraged to hold
• 24:16
  fast to what was true. He was challenged to confront
• 24:20
  and address the false teachers that were rising up.
• 24:23
  He was also reminded to accept his calling to the ministry with
• 24:27
  gratefulness and to address the happenings going on in the
• 24:31
  Ephesian church. Paul was imparting his
• 24:35
  experience and knowledge to the next generation.
• 24:39
  Timothy was receptive to learning and gleaning what he
• 24:42
  could from Paul's wisdom. This is how it should be in
• 24:46
  ministry across multiple generations.
• 24:49
  Those who have lived a little more life should be open to
• 24:52
  sharing their successes and also things they've learned along the
• 24:56
  way. That we're not a wind.
• 24:59
  The younger generations coming up can learn and appreciate much
• 25:03
  from those ahead of them, and perhaps avoid some of the same
• 25:06
  pitfalls that their mentors work through mentoring.
• 25:11
  It's a beautiful relationship. When the hearts are in the right
• 25:15
  place to learn and grow. You trust that you're in a
• 25:18
  community where this is happening.
• 25:20
  Older ones providing advice and wisdom, and each side learning
• 25:25
  and growing from one another. This certainly was the case for
• 25:29
  Paul and Timothy as they were comrades for the sake of the
• 25:33
  gospel. For more information on where
• 25:36
