In the New Testament of the Bible, there are a series of letters written by the Apostle Paul to churches and individuals. Second Timothy is a tender letter written by Paul, now imprisoned for his faith and near death, to one of his most devoted followers - Timothy. It is a letter of encouragement and support to a young follower of Jesus to stay the course even in the midst of opposition. Paul reminds Timothy of all that he has come to know as truth, and gently and passionately implores him to keep the faith in his teaching, preaching and living. It was a timely letter to Timothy in his context and it continues to challenge and encourage Jesus' followers in our faith today. Join us as we open this letter and explore the premise for "Staying the Course and Keeping the Faith" in our lives today.
