(2 Timothy 3:10-13)

Understand our position and promise in the wake of persecution.

PART 1: THE HISTORY (2 Timothy 3:10-11)

  1. What is persecution? Paul gives examples from his first missionary journey referenced in 2 Timothy 3:11
  1. This city of Antioch (modern Turkey)
  1. Acts 13:45
  2. Acts 13:50
  1. The city of Iconium
  1. Acts 14:2
  2. Acts 14:5-6
  1. The city of Lystra
  1. Acts 14:19

PART 2: THE FUTURE (2 Timothy 3:12-13)

  1. All who desire (2 Timothy 3:12)

  2. θέλοντες - Greek “to desire, wish”

  3. God's desire is that we live a Godly life in Christ Jesus.

  4. The result: We will be persecuted.

So, what is your attitude in the face of persecution?
