• 0:12
  Hello, friends. It is Sean here and welcome to a
• 0:16
  chapter A Day Bible reading where you and I will read a
• 0:21
  chapter of God's word each day. And as we do that, as we are
• 0:26
  present to the god of the universe, he will.
• 0:30
  Shine his light and his love and his Revelation into us and our
• 0:36
  lives. And that, my friends is what we
• 0:39
  are here to do today. And this week, we are going to
• 0:42
  be finishing the book of 2nd Timothy.
• 0:44
  And then we will be beginning, reading through the Gospel of
• 0:48
  Luke, as we head through lengths, up to the Glorious
• 0:53
  celebration of Easter and hopefully that timing will work
• 0:56
  out very sweetly for us in the end.
• 1:00
  But before we get there, we are going to finish reading this
• 1:03
  letter written by Paul to his young friend, the young Pastor
• 1:08
  Timothy, as he goes about leading his church and Paul
• 1:11
  wants to share with him one last time words of encouragement and
• 1:17
  warning. So join me friends as we read
• 1:19
  together today, second Timothy chapter 3,
• 1:33
  You should know this Timothy that in the last days, there
• 1:38
  will be very difficult times. For people will love only
• 1:41
  themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud
• 1:47
  scoffing it. God disobedient to their parents
• 1:51
  and ungrateful. They will consider nothing
• 1:54
  sacred, they will be unloving and unforgiving.
• 2:00
  They will slander others and have Have no self-control they
• 2:04
  will be cruel and hate. What is good.
• 2:08
  They will betray their friends. Be Reckless, be puffed up with
• 2:12
  pride and love pleasure, rather than God.
• 2:17
  They will act religious, but they will reject the power that
• 2:21
  could make them Godly stay away from people like that.
• 2:27
  They are the kind who work their way into people's homes and win
• 2:32
  the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the
• 2:35
  guilt of sin and controlled by various desires.
• 2:40
  Such women are forever following new teachings but they are never
• 2:44
  able to understand the truth. These teachers oppose the truth
• 2:49
  just as Jenny's and jamborees. Opposed Moses, they have
• 2:53
  depraved minds and a counterfeit faith.
• 2:57
  But they won't get away with this for long someday.
• 3:02
  Everyone will recognize what fools they are just as with
• 3:06
  Jenny's and jamborees. But you Timothy certainly know
• 3:11
  what I teach and how I live and what my purpose in life is, you
• 3:16
  know, my faith, my patience, my love and my endurance.
• 3:21
  You know how much persecution and suffering.
• 3:24
  I have endured, you know, all about how I was persecuted in
• 3:29
  Antioch at Iconium and lystra but the Lord rescued me, from
• 3:34
  all of it. Yes, and anyone who wants to
• 3:37
  live a Godly life In Christ, Jesus will suffer persecution,
• 3:40
  but evil people, and Impostors will flourish.
• 3:44
  They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived, but
• 3:50
  you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught, you
• 3:54
  know, they are true for, you know, you can trust those who
• 3:58
  taught you, you have been taught the holy scriptures from
• 4:02
  childhood and they have given you the wisdom to receive the
• 4:06
  Salvation that comes by. By trusting in Christ Jesus, all
• 4:11
  scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us.
• 4:15
  What is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our
• 4:18
  lives. It corrects us when we are wrong
• 4:22
  and teaches us to do what is right, God uses it to prepare
• 4:27
  and equip his people to do every good work.
• 4:41
  Thank you, Jesus, for your word. Thank you for your servant Paul
• 4:46
  who shares these ideas with his young friend.
• 4:50
  And through this writing, we can learn more about you and your
• 4:55
  will for us and our lives. Thank you that you use your word
• 5:01
  to prepare us and equip us to do every good work.
• 5:08
  Thank you for the opportunity. We have to open your worthy
• 5:11
  today and to hear your instruction and your love and
• 5:16
  your inclusion of us. And thank you that this fills
• 5:21
  our heart with acceptance from you and our identity that we
• 5:27
  know that we are enough. We know that we are loved and we
• 5:30
  are your children. Help us be inspired by this so
• 5:35
  that we can live a life worthy of you and your love to us.
• 5:42
  We thank you for including us in your mission on pray that your
• 5:46
  will would be done in the way that we live our lives.
• 5:49
  So we offer ourselves up to you as living sacrifices.
• 5:54
  Holy and pleasing to you. Jesus and it's in your name that
• 5:57
  we pray. Amen.
