2 Timothy

The Gift of God

God doesn’t call the fearless—He equips the faithful. In this message from 2 Timothy 1:1–7, we hear Paul’s final words to his spiritual son, Timothy, and discover what it means to fan into flame the gift of God. These words aren’t just for Timothy—they’re for anyone who has ever felt timid, unqualified, or overwhelmed. Learn how the gospel strengthens us, why fear has no place in the life of a believer, and how the Spirit of God empowers us with power, love, and self-control. This is an invitation to step forward in faith, use your gifts boldly, and trust that God has already given you everything you need to finish well.

The Gospel of God

What is the gospel really about? In our world, “good news” gets redefined every day—be yourself, find success, be a good person. But the Bible gives us something far greater. In 2 Timothy 1:8–10, 15–18, Paul reminds Timothy (and us) that the gospel isn’t advice or self-help. It’s not a burden to carry. It’s an announcement of victory—that Jesus Christ has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light. In this message we’ll see why the true gospel often meets opposition, why it’s nothing to be ashamed of, and why following Jesus is always worth the cost.

Proclaim, Persevere For, and Protect

In this message, we look at Paul’s charge to Timothy—and to us—as followers of Jesus: to proclaim the gospel, to persevere in suffering for it, and to protect its truth.

Paul knew Timothy would face pressure, opposition, and temptation to be ashamed of the gospel. Yet, he reminded him that the faith entrusted to him was part of a chain stretching back through generations—and it must continue forward.

Whether you’re new to faith or have walked with Jesus for years, this passage challenges us all to remain unashamed of the gospel, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to passing on the good news of Christ.

Proclaim, Persevere For, and Protect

Life today prizes busy over faithful. Our calendars are full, our energy is drained, and yet spiritually many of us feel thin. In this passage, Paul reminds Timothy—and us—that strength doesn’t come from striving harder, but from being strengthened by the grace of Christ.

Remember the Trustworthy God

Life can feel uncertain—one phone call, one bill, one relationship shift, and everything changes. So where do we turn when the world feels unstable? In this message from 2 Timothy 2:8–13, we’re reminded to anchor our lives in the trustworthy God. Jesus is risen, He is King, His Word is unstoppable, and His promises never fail. Join us as we remember who God is and learn how to trust Him in every season.

A Worker Approved

In a world full of noise, half-truths, and shifting voices, how can we remain faithful to Christ? In this message from 2 Timothy 2:14–19, we see Paul’s call to be a worker approved by God—someone who handles Scripture rightly, avoids quarrels that distract from the gospel, and stands firm on God’s unshakable foundation. Discover how to stay rooted in God’s Word, walk the straight path to Christ, and live as an unashamed worker in today’s culture.

An Honorable Vessel

How are you being used? In 2 Timothy 2:20–26, Paul calls believers to be honorable vessels—set apart, holy, and ready for every good work. This message explores what it means to be cleansed from what is dishonorable and devoted to what is pleasing to God. Discover how to flee from sin, pursue righteousness, and reflect the character of Christ in a way that draws others to the gospel.

Evil in the Last Days

Paul warns that the last days will be filled with difficulty and darkness—but he also reminds us that evil’s reach is limited and its defeat is certain. This message explores the real hope believers have in a world that seems to grow more chaotic by the day. The gospel assures us that while darkness rages, it cannot overcome the light of Christ. Be encouraged to stand firm, rooted in the truth of God’s Word, confident that His power will prevail. The light still shines, the kingdom is advancing, and Jesus will make all things new.

God’s Profitable Word

In a world where truth feels like it’s always shifting, how do we stay anchored? In this sermon, Pastor Wayne unpacks Paul’s words to Timothy — a powerful reminder that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness. Discover how God’s Word keeps us steady when the culture drifts, why it’s worth investing in, and how it equips us for every good work. When the world shifts, only God’s Word holds.

Preach the Word

In a world full of noise, where people chase what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear, Paul gives a timeless charge: preach the word.” Paul calls Timothy, and us today, to perseverance — to keep proclaiming the gospel with truth, love, and endurance, even when others turn away. Discover how to stay faithful in the face of “itching ears,” and why our calling to speak God’s Word still matters more than ever. When the world turns from truth, we keep preaching because truth still changes hearts.

Finish The Race

What does it mean to finish well? Paul’s final words to Timothy are the joy of a life poured out, a faith kept, and a race finished. As Paul faces the end of his life, he looks back with peace and ahead with hope, confident in the crown of righteousness promised by the Lord. Discover how to live with that same endurance and joy — to pour out your life for what lasts, to keep the faith through every season, and to finish your race well. Life is being poured out somewhere. The only question is where and how.

A Mobilized Church

As Paul closes his final letter, he reminds Timothy—and us—that the mission of the gospel moves through people. Even in loneliness, betrayal, or hardship, God’s work continues because the Lord stands by His people. The call for Dwell Church is to be a mobilized church — one that doesn’t sit still, but goes, sends, and serves so that every neighbor and nation might know Christ. The harvest is plentiful. The prayer is for workers — and you can be the answer.
