Paul exhorted Timothy and all ministers of the Gospel to nurture their God-given gifts, not to be ashamed of the Gospel, and to devote themselves to the life-giving Word of God. Teaching from 2 Timothy 1, theologian Sinclair Ferguson helps pastors and church leaders appreciate the pastorate’s holy calling. As he walks through Paul’s exhortation to Timothy and the pastoral pattern he sets forth, he unpacks key aspects of Timothy’s ministry worth considering and emulating, including the humbling impact of suffering and the necessity of sincere faith.
