This Sunday as we follow on in the Pastoral Epistle Series we started last September in 1 Timothy, we begin Paul's second letter to his young protege in the faith. Timothy continues to labour as the pastor of the church in Ephesus while challenges to his leadership persist, however the message in what will be the last letter that the apostle Paul writes before his death, is heartfelt. Paul wishes, one last time, to communicate his heart for discipleship in the church, to encourage Timothy once again and to pass the baton to one of his sons in the faith exhorting him and the church to guard the good deposit of the gospel!
