2 Timothy 4:1-5
1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 But as for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Talk about it:
Paul charged Timothy to preach the Word. What does preaching the Word mean? (Preaching the Word means telling people about the message of the Bible, which we call the gospel- that God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins and rise again in victory over death so we could be forgiven and live forever in heaven as God’s adopted children.)
