II Timothy

Chapter 4

Read chapter 4 before studying this lesson.
Preach the Word
"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage- with great patience and careful instruction.'
The time is coming when:
"...people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
Paul is nearing his time of departure.
"For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time
for my departure is near."
There was a crown of righteousness in store for Paul.
He longed for his departure.
Paul wrote this in Colossians 1:23b.
"This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant."
Paul was not the only one preaching, but he was an important servant.
