  Hello friends. It's shown here.
• 0:15
  Welcome and great to have your company as you.
• 0:18
  And I today are going to continue reading through the
• 0:21
  book of 2nd Timothy here we are. It is Thursday.
• 0:25
  It is the 23rd of February. Now, what?
• 0:29
  I had a look. Today's a busy day.
• 0:31
  If you live in Guyana, happy, you've Republic Day if you live
• 0:34
  in Brunei happy national day. But if you don't live in either
• 0:39
  of those countries than I'd like to encourage you to celebrate
• 0:42
  banana bread day. You know, when you look through
• 0:44
  the fridge and you find some old bananas with a Skins black, they
• 0:49
  make the best banana bread. We are we in the Connery
• 0:52
  household. We are on a mission to reduce
• 0:54
  food waste. So I reckon we've got a couple
• 0:57
  of those in the in the crisp at the Bottom of the fridge.
• 1:00
  So, I think today, for afternoon tea, we might be having some
• 1:04
  delicious banana bread. I hope you are going well today,
• 1:09
  but whatever is going on. I am delighted that you and I
• 1:12
  get to put down our days and come before God to hear his word
• 1:18
  to us through, Paul to his young friend Timothy Let's put it
• 1:24
  down, friends, let's come before God, as we read together. 2nd,
• 1:28
  Timothy chapter 2. Timothy my dear son, be strong
• 1:44
  through the grace that God gives you in Christ.
• 1:46
  Jesus. You have heard me Teach things
• 1:48
  that have been confirmed by many reliable Witnesses.
• 1:52
  Now, teach these truths to other trustworthy, people who will be
• 1:56
  able to pass them on to others endure suffering, along with me
• 2:01
  as a good soldier of Christ. Jesus soldiers, don't get tied
• 2:05
  up in the Affairs of civilian life for then.
• 2:09
  They cannot please the officer who would listen Stood them and
• 2:12
  athletes cannot win the prize, unless they follow the rules and
• 2:16
  hard-working Farmers. Should be the first to enjoy the
• 2:19
  fruit of their labor. Think about what I'm saying, the
• 2:23
  Lord will help you understand all these things always remember
• 2:29
  that. Jesus Christ, a descendant of
• 2:31
  King, David was raised from the dead.
• 2:34
  This is the good news, I preach and because I preach this good
• 2:39
  news, I'm so Offering and have been chained like a criminal,
• 2:44
  but the word of God cannot be chained.
• 2:47
  So I'm willing to endure anything if it will bring
• 2:50
  Salvation and eternal glory in Christ.
• 2:53
  Jesus to those God has chosen. This is a trustworthy saying if
• 2:59
  we die with him we will also live with him.
• 3:04
  If we endure hardship, we will reign with him.
• 3:08
  If we deny him, he will. Will deny us.
• 3:12
  If we are Unfaithful, he remains faithful for he cannot deny who
• 3:18
  he is. Remind everyone about these
• 3:22
  things and command them in God's presence to stop fighting over
• 3:27
  words. Such arguments are useless and
• 3:30
  they can ruin those who hear them work hard.
• 3:35
  So you can present yourself to God and receive his approval.
• 3:38
  Be a good worker 1. It does not need to be ashamed
• 3:42
  and who correctly explains the word of Truth.
• 3:46
  Avoid worthless foolish talk that only leads to more Godless
• 3:50
  Behavior. This kind of talk spreads like
• 3:53
  cancer as in the case of hymenaeus and philetus they have
• 3:59
  left the path of Truth claiming that the resurrection of the
• 4:02
  dead has already occurred in this way, they have turned some
• 4:06
  people away from the faith. But God's truth stands firm like
• 4:12
  a foundation stone with this inscription.
• 4:16
  The Lord knows those who are his and all who belong to the Lord
• 4:22
  must turn away from evil. In a wealthy home, some utensils
• 4:28
  are made of gold and silver and some are made of wood and Clay.
• 4:32
  The expensive utensils are used for special occasions and the
• 4:36
  cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you
• 4:41
  will be a special utensil for honorable use your life will be
• 4:46
  clean and you will be ready for the master to use you for every
• 4:51
  good work. Run from anything that
• 4:54
  stimulates youthful Lusts. Instead pursue righteous living
• 5:00
  faithfulness, love and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those
• 5:05
  who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
• 5:08
  Again. I say don't get involved in
• 5:11
  foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights a servant of
• 5:15
  the Lord must not quarrel / must be kind to everyone and be able
• 5:20
  to teach and be patient with difficult people.
• 5:24
  Gently and Those who oppose the truth.
• 5:28
  Perhaps, God will change those people's hearts, and they will
• 5:32
  learn the truth, then they will come to their senses and Escape
• 5:36
  From The Devil's trap. For they have been held captive
• 5:39
  by him, to do whatever he wants. Jesus.
• 5:53
  We hear these words of encouragement from Paul, to his
• 5:56
  young friend and we hear them applying to ourselves as well.
• 6:02
  We hear him speak of being kind and working with faithfulness
• 6:08
  and love and peace and being patient even with difficult.
• 6:13
  People are Jesus, you know how hard that is for us.
• 6:17
  Difficult, people are difficult. But stir up your spirit that we
• 6:22
  would show your kindness and your patience.
• 6:26
  And that when we know we're right, and the others are wrong,
• 6:29
  rather than forcefully asserting our dominance and our
• 6:31
  correctness that we would. As Paul says, gently instruct
• 6:36
  those who oppose the truth because it's you, who changes
• 6:39
  people's hearts not us. We don't need to take on that
• 6:43
  burden of responsibility. We just need to be faithful and
• 6:47
  gentle and kind. I loving and allow you and your
• 6:53
  spirit transform people. Use us to make these changes for
• 6:59
  your kingdom. We love you.
• 7:02
  Jesus and it's in your name that we pray.
• 7:05
  Amen. We love you.
• 7:02
  Jesus and it's in your name that we pray.
• 7:05
  Amen.
