As we begin our study of 2 Timothy, we reflect on 10 notes about the gospel worker’s life that we learn from a study of the book of Acts and many of Paul’s epistles, including the two to Timothy himself. We explore the meaning of Timothy’s name, his upbringing, his work as a member of Paul’s ministry team and how he conducts himself as a “worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
Scriptures referenced include Acts 16:1; 2 Timothy 1:5; Acts 16:3; 1 Timothy 1:12, 18; 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:15; 1 Corinthians 9:22; and 1 Timothy 6:11.
