This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

Faithful in the Word, Urgent in the Task

In today's message we’re turning to 2 Timothy 3:14–4:5, a passage that captures the last words of the Apostle Paul. He’s sitting in a Roman prison cell, chained, forgotten by many, but not by God. His earthly journey is nearly complete. He’s about to hand the torch of ministry to a young pastor named Timothy. And his message isn’t sentimental—it’s urgent.

Paul knows the times are dark. The Roman Empire is hostile to Christians. False teachers have crept into the church. Many who once walked with Paul have deserted him. Yet in the midst of it all, he doesn’t tell Timothy to hide, or to protect his reputation, or to make peace with the world. Instead, he says, “Continue in the Word. Preach the Word. Endure in the task.”

You see, Paul knew something that we need to remember: when everything else collapses—when culture decays, when morality fades, when truth is questioned—the Word of God remains. It stands eternal and unshaken. And every generation of believers must take up that same call: to cling to Scripture and to proclaim it boldly.

Honestly, if you look around our world today, you can see how relevant Paul’s words are. People hunger for meaning but reject the source of truth. There’s confusion about morality, identity, and purpose. And yet God’s Word cuts through the noise. It is living, active, sharper than any two-edged sword.

So here’s the thing: this passage is not just for pastors or preachers. It’s for every follower of Christ who wants to live faithfully in an unfaithful age. It’s a call to be anchored in Scripture when others drift, to stand firm when others bend, to keep proclaiming Christ when others fall silent.
