Finish with the gospel
2 Timothy is a very personal letter from a senior pastor to a junior pastor; and all the more so as Paul knows he will probably die soon. So what he says to Timothy has all the greater poignancy. This last chapter rises to a crescendo with the great charge – 2 Tim 4:2 Preach the word, be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction. So .. will you keep going or will you desert? Will you stick with the gospel, or turn away from it? Today is the time to decide those issues. We don’t need any more deserters – our liberal churches are full of people who’ve had conversion experiences, believed the bible once, and have now ditched it. But we do need loads more gospel workers, like Paul and Tim, and Mark and Luke. We need to raise up what an Aussie friend of mine calls BWW – blokes worth watching. We need people who won’t run away, but will keep going even when it gets tough. What will hold us firm – the gospel. We must fight for the gospel. Will you pledge with me to be like Paul and Tim, a gospel fighter?

Titus 1:10-16 (PM)
Having called for a Biblically qualified leadership, the Apostle Paul now turns to explaining the need for such leadership in the local church. The dangerous reality of false teachers and false teaching demands an eldership that is qualified in character, gifting, and doctrine.

Sin in the City
Sin destroys God's plan and purposes for the City. But Christ came to overturn the curse of sin into a blessing. He works in us to put our sin to death, and through us to stop the spread of sin in the church & City.

At His Feet
Jesus teaches all of us that it isn’t the big events that are going to really change who we are. The big events don’t make us, they simply reveal what the daily habit of our hearts really are like. Big events don’t give us time to contemplate; whatever is in our hearts comes out. It’s all of the little things. It’s the mundane and monotonous duties of life, the daily routine that God is most concerned with transforming. To desire real, lasting change is to commit to a lifetime of daily change in all the little ways.
