2 Timothy: Finish-Line Faith

Question: If the Christian life is a race, have you ever felt like quitting?

Timothy did. This young minister was in trouble--under fire and overwhelmed.

So the apostle Paul picks up his pen while in prison and writes Timothy a letter. Paul knows this is his last imprisonment. In just a few short months--or weeks--he will face execution. Second Timothy is the last known letter we have from the apostle's hand, and in it he issues to Timothy essentially one charge: DON'T QUIT! Be faithful. Persevere. Endure. Don't give up. Don't give in. Keep running. Stay on the track, Timothy! Finish strong!

This letter helps shape that kind of resilient faith. God doesn't remove hardship from our lives, but in 2 Timothy, He provides the wisdom needed to overcome hardship. These words gave new strength to Timothy's faltering faith, and they will shoot adrenaline through your weary soul.

In this study, Matt Proctor weaved Biblical teaching with practical principles. As we eavesdrop on Paul's advice to his beloved son in the faith, we too will develop finish-line faith. Like a track coach encouraging his athletes, Proctor urges his readers to remember the importance of our mission, and to rely on God's strengthening grace to finish strong.

Finish-Line Faith has 11 chapters and 112 pages.
