Grace in the Word
2 Timothy: A Study on Encouragement
Welcome to the Grace in the Word
Reading Plan
Over the next five weeks, you are invited to take part in a journey called Grace in the Word – 2 Timothy. This will be a five-week study of the book of 2 Timothy. During this study you will be able to dive into the words of Paul to his disciple Timothy and begin to reflect on what it looks like to remain faithful in our service to God.
Grace in the Word begins on September 11th.
Want to experience the reading plan with an online community? Join us on Facebook in the Grace in the Word FB Community where we will be having discussion and sharing with each other as we read.
Week 3 – 2 Timothy Chapter 2
Welcome to week three of Grace in the Word- 2 Timothy.
We are halfway through our study of 2 Timothy, and this week, we want to encourage you that if you haven’t started this study or if you have missed some days, take time to go back. This study isn’t a race; it’s an invitation to go through and study God’s Word. This is a fitting theme for this week as well because, in this week’s study of chapter two of 2 Timothy, Paul encourages Timothy to carry on in endurance. Use Paul’s words this week as words of encouragement and challenge for you as well. We are praying for endurance for you in this study and for your faith.
Week 2 – 2 Timothy Chapter 1
This week, we begin to open up and study the text of 2 Timothy.
This week, you are invited to look at chapter one of Paul’s epistle to Timothy. Specifically, you are invited to critically study and reflect on the truths Paul reminds his disciple Timothy about regarding a life of service for Jesus. As you read through 2 Timothy 1 this week, reflect on Paul’s words as God’s words for your heart and life. What Paul calls Timothy to is the act of fellowship and faith that Jesus is stirring in our hearts daily. Reflect on what hinders you from faithfully walking in service to God and invite Jesus into those hardened places.
We pray for you and your journey through God’s Word this week.
Week 1 – 2 Timothy Background and Theme
Welcome to Grace in the Word- 2 Timothy, week number one!
This week, you begin a journey with our entire church community. Together, our church will be opening God’s Word to read from the same passages, verses, and the same book of the bible together. This week begins a five-week journey where you are invited to study God’s word at the same time as a community of believers, just like the early churches did as they read over and shared letters and epistles like the very ones Paul wrote. This is a beautiful and spiritually forming practice we get to take part in. This week as you begin this study, you are invited to learn more about Paul, Timothy, their ministry, their work and relationship, and most importantly, the book of 2 Timothy. Use this week as an opportunity for you to begin to establish a regular rhythm and practice for studying and reflecting on God’s Word, as you will be doing over the next five weeks of this series.
We are praying for you all and are excited to hear how God moves your heart through this study.
