PART 3/4 Colin Hutchison introduces the settings of the second epistles before using the exhortations of Paul in 2nd Timothy to learn lessons on spiritual development in a crisis day. He exhorts his audience from chapter 1 to have a heart for the task, develop gift for use in service and know the word of God. In chapter 2, Colin identifies that in order to grow we must serve (v1-7), suffer (v8-13) and be sanctified (v14-26).
