What would you say if you knew you had only weeks to live? The Apostle Paul faced this reality in a Roman prison cell—abandoned by friends, awaiting execution under Emperor Nero's brutal persecution of Christians. Yet his final letter to Timothy reveals not despair, but powerful encouragement and unwavering focus on what truly matters. This message bridges the gap between the book of Acts and Paul's second imprisonment, uncovering the dramatic shift from favorable treatment to death row. Discover why Paul went from renting his own apartment in Rome to being chained in a dungeon, and what the great fire of Rome in 64 AD had to do with Christianity's darkest hour. Learn what consumed Paul's thoughts in his final days—not self-pity, but the continuation of the gospel message and the welfare of God's people. As we begin this study of 2 Timothy, prepare to receive Paul's last words as if they were written directly to you.
