Fulfil Your Ministry
2 Timothy and Titus and the Challenges of Serving the Gospel
Lee Gatiss
For those considering or already involved in ministry
Key challenges faced by those in ministry
Exposition of 2 Timothy & Titus
Paul, an apostle, missionary church planter, and a pastor of great experience, wrote to Timothy and Titus, his trusted younger colleagues in the ministry. They were facing huge challenges in serving the gospel, trying to keep their churches safe from charlatans and false teaching while doing the work of an evangelist in places famously full of idolatry, immorality, and entrenched opposition. Paul’s letters gave them the guidance they needed in such a moment, to keep them on track. And his words contain vital instruction and encouragement for those in the ministry today.

Paul’s words to Timothy, ‘fulfil your ministry,’ are as relevant and urgent today as they were when Paul first wrote them. As I eye the finish line, I am grateful to Lee Gatiss for drawing me back again and again to Paul’s words and for helping me think through their application both for myself and for those of the next generation that I am privileged to train.

… a stirring call from 2 Timothy and Titus for ministers to have confidence in the gospel and to be willing to suffer for it. Gatiss highlights the vital need for ministers who exhibit Christ–like character and practice personal godliness and purity.
