Student 1 Casey
The Gospel: Read 2 Timothy 1:9–11. What is this “gospel” Paul consistently preaches throughout his epistles, and how is it received?
The Gospel Paul preaches is of God’s grace and purpose. The sacrifice of his Son bore the weight of our sins and established a relationship that brings us life from death. The Gospel is the good news of Christ’s coming, crucifixion and resurrection. In 2 Timothy 2:10, he says, “Salvation in Christ, with eternal glory.” When Paul received the gospel, he established a relationship with the disciples and they believed he was no longer persecuting Christians. Though to some it may not have been well received as he radically put his life on the line. But the radical things he did which led him to prison only allowed him to reach different groups of people. He used every opportunity to communicate the gospel no matter where he was located. It was evident the Holy Spirit prepared the way.
Personal Walk: Read 1 Timothy 4:7–8, 16. How do you plan to maintain your personal walk with God throughout this course? In other words, how do you plan to “discipline” yourself for godliness as you seek to be a Christian leader?
Prayer Request: How can your fellow students pray for you as you begin this course?
Pray for discipline for schoolwork. For financial support for my wife and I to go oversea’s to Japan to share the gospel and help the church.
