2 Timothy: Guarding the Truth (Verse by Verse)

This study of 2 Timothy by Alistair Begg helps participants consider the sufficiency of Scripture, God’s preserving grace, and the long obedience of the Christian life, trusting that by his strength, we can remain faithful and finish well. 

In an early-church era filled with temptations toward compromise and confusion, Timothy and his fellow believers faced mounting pressure to loosen their grip on the gospel. But the apostle Paul, writing from a Roman jail and nearing death, urged his young protégé to stand firm—to guard the truth, endure suffering, and pass on the message of Jesus. 

In this twelve-week study, you will journey through Paul’s final letter and discover what it means to live with gospel resolve in a culture that resists it. When so many abandon sound teaching for spiritual speculation, we can remain faithful. But first, we must embrace the sufficiency of Scripture, God’s promise of preservation, and the power of grace.  

The Christian life isn’t a sprint; it’s a long obedience in the same direction. And by God’s strength, you can finish well.
