In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell examines 2 Timothy 2:1–7 and introduces us to the exhortations and wisdom from the apostle Paul to pastors. The church needs pastors who will stick with Paul's teaching, and think the same way he thought. We need pastors who know that one day they will look at Jesus, and Jesus will look at them — and that moment is going to make all the hardship worth it, and the only way we’re going to make it now is to remember the promise of that moment — we have to remember Jesus Christ, the real person, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in Paul’s gospel. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. Pastors, stick with Paul — because Paul points us to Jesus.
