After identifying himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ, Paul began his second letter to Timothy by affirming their close relationship and praying that God would give him "grace, mercy, and peace." In this message, Alistair Begg shows us how that same grace, mercy, and peace are needed in our own lives and encourages us to prayerfully support those who lead us in the faith.
Greeting

2To Timothy, my beloved child:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You
