Sermon based on 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Key idea: having "spiritual" fast-food meals once and a while will never make you as strong as the Apostle Paul. Follow his example! Seek Him always. ; )

In one recent nation wide survey we
asked people to describe their GOALS
IN LIFE. Almost nine out of ten adults
described themselves as “Christian.”
Growing True
Disciples pp.138-143.

23. George Barna
“Eight out of ten
said they wanted…”
Be a successful;
Start a family;
Earn a good salary;
NO Spiritual GOALS;

“Main goal was
to know if the
PROGRAMS
offered by the
church were
TRULY HELPING
people GROW
SPIRITUALLY.”

26. Greg Hawkins
“In a nutshell, the survey
results showed that
HEAVY INVOLVEMENT in
the church PROGRAMS
and ACTIVITIES of the
church DID NOT
necessarily translate
to SPIRITUAL GROWTH
and MATURITY.”

27. If the baby doesn’t want to eat,
it’s a waste of time
to try to feed him.

33. Under the Church of
San Guiseppe dei
Falegnami is a prison
dating back to the
first century AD.

34. Peter and Paul were most
likely imprisoned in such
a prison, but there is no
direct evidence that it
was this particular prison.

39. 2 Tim. 4:6-8
“For I am already being poured
out like a drink offering, and the
time for my departure is near.”
“For I am already being poured
out like a drink offering, and the
time for my departure is near.”
“For I am already being poured
out like a drink offering, and the
time for my departure is near.”

40. 2 Tim. 4:6-8
“I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.”
“I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.”
“I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.”

41. 2 Tim. 4:6-8
“Now there is in store for me the
crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, will
award to me on that day — and
not only to me, but also to all who
have longed for His appearing.”
“Now there is in store for me the
crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, will
award to me on that day — and
not only to me, but also to all who
have longed for His appearing.”
“Now there is in store for me the
crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, will
award to me on that day — and
not only to me, but also to all who
have longed for His appearing.”

49. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
Paul was taken in
a private manner
to the place of
execution. Few
spectators were
allowed to be
present; for his
persecutors alarmed
at the extent
of his influence…

50. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
…feared that
converts might be
won to Christianity
by the scenes of his
death. But even the
hardened soldiers
who attended
him listened to
his words and with
amazement saw…

51. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
…him cheerful and
even joyous in the
prospect of death. To
some who witnessed
his martyrdom, his
spirit of forgiveness
toward his
murderers and his
unwavering
confidence…

52. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
…in Christ till the
last, proved a savor
of life unto life.
More than one
accepted the
Savior whom Paul
preached, and soon
fearlessly sealed
their faith
with their blood.

53. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
Paul carried with
him the atmosphere
of heaven. All who
associated with him
felt the influence
of his union with
Christ.

54. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
The fact
that his own
life exemplified
the truth he
proclaimed gave
convincing power
to his preaching.
Here lies the
power of truth.

55. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
The unstudied,
unconscious
influence of a holy
life is the most
convincing sermon
that can be given
in favor of
Christianity.

56. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
Argument, even
when unanswerable,
may provoke only
opposition; but a
godly example has
a power that it is
impossible fully
to resist.

57. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
The apostle was
looking into the
great beyond, not
with uncertainty
or dread, but with
joyous hope
and longing
expectation.

58. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
As he stands at
the place of
martyrdom he sees
not the sword of the
executioner or the
earth so soon to
receive his blood;…

59. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
…he looks up
through the calm
blue heaven of
that summer day
to the throne of
the Eternal.

60. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
Ransomed by the
sacrifice of Christ,
washed from sin
in His blood, and
clothed in His
righteousness, Paul
has the witness
in himself that his
soul is precious
in the sight of his
Redeemer.

61. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
His life is hid with
Christ in God, and
he is persuaded
that He who has
conquered death
is able to keep that
which is committed
to His trust.

62. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
His mind grasps
the Saviour’s
promise, “I will
raise him up at the
last day.” (Jo. 6:40)
His thoughts and
hopes are centered
on the second
coming of his Lord.

63. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
And as the sword
of the executioner
descends and the
shadows of death
gather about the
martyr,…

64. “”
Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 50 pg. 509-513
…his latest thought
springs forward,
as will his earliest
in the great
awakening, to
meet the Life-giver,
who shall welcome
him to the joy
of the blest.
