The Call to be a Mentor (1 of 4)
Series: Replicate

2 Timothy 2:1-7
If you have your Bible/Bible app, I'd like for you to turn to 2 Timothy 2 - where Paul writes to invite his faith protégé to engage in the ministry of replication.
replicate - to make a close or exact copy - and this is the heart of the G.C - helping people to be like Jesus.
We call this discipleship - but really, it's simply fulfilling the Biblical mandate of investing into others what Jesus and others have invested into you.
If you remember, back in January, we unveiled a renewed vision/ministry strategy for our church based on Paul's version of the G.C outlined in Colossians 1:28 - He's the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone w/ all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.
Key Phrase - fully mature in Christ - it means to be like Jesus - a replication or identical copy of Christ.
Today, we're starting a series in 2 Timothy 2:1-7 on our calling to replicate ourselves to influence all people into intimate followship w/ Jesus.
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you've heard me say in the presence of many witnesses these entrust to reliable men who'll also be qualified to teach others. Join w/ me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete doesn't receive the victor's crown except by competing according to the rules. The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
2 Timothy 2:1-7
To appreciate this text, we need to know a bit about Paul/Timothy. The Apostle Paul originally was a rabbi-to-be/persecutor of the church. His life was radically changed by God on the Via Maris some-where on the way to Damascus. After H ...
