Let the Lion Out

by Alistair Begg

2 Timothy 4:1–5
 (ID: 3100)

In starting a new job, it’s important to recognize the tasks, challenges, and requirements for the position. Likewise, as Timothy prepared to preach the Gospel, Paul counseled him on what was needed for his task. Reviewing Paul’s instructions, Alistair Begg teaches today’s pastors to share Paul’s objective: reliance on the Word of God to accomplish God’s work by His Spirit. As the Word is preached, pastors should look to biblical truths, patiently teaching while God opens blind eyes and softens hard hearts.
