2 Timothy 1:1-14 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the sake of the promise of
life that is in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and
peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors
did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. 4 Recalling
your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of
your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your
mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. 6 For this reason I remind you to
rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; 7 for
God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love
and of self-discipline.8 Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord
or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, relying on the
power of God, 9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to
our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us
in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 10 but it has now been revealed through the
appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel. 11 For this gospel I was appointed a
herald and an apostle and a teacher, 12 and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I
am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure
that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. 13 Hold to the
standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that
are in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of
the Holy Spirit living in us.
ACTS OF RANDOM KINDNESS During the month of May, FUMC will celebrate
ARK month as we turn our attention to Acts of Random Kindness. The Evangelism
Team will hand our ARK Cards at the services during the month of May. Please use the
cards to accompany your acts of kindness.
COVENANT BIBLE STUDY is an in-depth group Bible study in which people read
and discuss the Bible together, learning how to love God - and each other - better. It is
a 24 week study divided into three eight week segments with a break in-between
focusing on creating, living and trusting. The video supplements provide insightful
background for a deeper understanding of the Bible. Jerry Banks and Patsy Brewer are
organizing groups to start soon. Contact them for more information: Jerry at 998-8898
or Patsy at 751-5322
