Scripture Reading by Mark Goode

Key Points:

• Invitation #1: Redefine your legacy centered on the promise of life in Christ Jesus.
• Invitation #2: Rekindle the gift IN you by walking in power, love, and self-discipline.
• 2 Timothy is all about receiving and sharing (or multiplying) the promise of life in Christ.

Reflection Questions:

• Who is your Paul?
  • Identify the people who helped you receive the promise of life in Christ, and send them a word of thanks for their legacy of faith passed on to you.
• Who is your Timothy?
  • Prayerfully consider who are the people God has called you to influence with a legacy of life in Christ Jesus.

Scriptures:

• 2 Timothy 1:1-7 (CSB)

Key Points:

• Death does not get the final words for those who trust in the resurrected Jesus.
• Rejecting the resurrection is the death of hope. Trusting in the resurrected One is the doorway to hope.
• Jesus's resurrection power replaces tragedy with triumph, selfish fear with selfless love, isolation with family, and sorrow with joy.

Scriptures:

• Matthew 28:1-10
• 1 Corinthians 15:12-58
• Romans 5:3-5
