Before we focus on another legacy of Paul’s ministry, read Luke’s simple but powerful narrative of Paul’s departure:

And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the...

CHAPTER 2 The Legacy of a Preached Word 

A major subject that received attention in Paul’s address was his ministry of the Word. This was a priority in terms of Paul’s mission, goals, and activities while in Ephesus. This certainly should not be a surprise to us, since the apostle Paul identified the ministry he “received from the Lord Jesus” as being “to testify to the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24)....

THE APOSTOLIC MANDATE FOR PREACHING THE WORD

TEXT: “….Preach the Word….” (2 Timothy 4:2a, see also 2 Timothy 3:16 - 4:5)

THOUGHT: The Apostle Paul’s mandate to Timothy in our text serves as an example to those called to preach the Word of God. As we think about this mandate, let us notice three critical truths that are as relevant today as they were in the first century.

Our text presents a mandate with Ultimate Accountability, Basic Responsibilities, and ...
