Calvary Chapel Casa Grande Sunday

You don't have to read much to notice the tenor of this epistle is strikingly different than his first letter to the young pastor. In 1 Timothy (written around 63-65 A.D.) Paul was instructing the pastor on how to deal with issues within the Church and how to be a good minister of the Gospel. Here in his second letter (written just prior to Paul’s execution in 67 A.D.), Timothy and the Church in Ephesus are no doubt seeing signs of impending persecution, as it had begun in Rome and now began to stretch throughout the whole of the Roman Empire.
