Scripture Union Daily Guide 22nd April 2026 Outline
Like in the days of Timothy, there is prevalence of false teachers in our time. What strategies can we learn in 2 Timothy 2:1-2 to handle this? Paul gave Timothy two clear strategies; be strong in the grace that is Christ Jesus, and disciple others (2 Timothy 2:1-2). John Stott says, “The best way to combat false teaching is not to simply denounce it but to multiply faithful preachers and teachers of the truth.” Discipleship/mentorship is a major way of intentionally transferring values of the Kingdom, preserving the truth and sustaining the passion for the advancement of the gospel from one generation to another.
See Acts 18:24-28 for how Priscila and Aquila helped Apollos. Read 2 Timothy 2:3-6 again and observe the metaphors that Paul used for the Christian life. What are the essential character qualities that we can learn from each of these metaphors for our own Christian life and mentorship efforts? Like a soldier, we must be strong and focused on our God-given assignment. Like an athlete, we must persevere and do the assignment according to our Master’s rule, and like a farmer, we must be patient as we labour on our disciples.
