  • SEBTS Chapel - Jim Shaddix October 2, 2014

    Description:
    Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon reading from 2 Timothy 1:15-18 (0:00-2:24). Just as Paul refers to spreading the Gospel as running a race, Shaddix compares the relay event in track and field to spreading the Gospel: passing on the baton is similar to passing on the Gospel to others (2:25-7:27). In his epistle, Paul writes to a struggling Timothy who is on the verge of quitting the race, but Paul encourages him not to desert the race (7:28-9:00). Shaddix states that everyone is called into the race to preserve the Gospel and pass it on to others (9:01-9:38). To help Timothy, Paul provides examples of “runners” who deserted the race and who were devoted to it (9:39-12:16). Those that walked away from completing the race, deserted the Gospel (12:17-13:32). However, Paul mentions one man, Onesiphorus, who sacrificed his life to spread the Gospel, and Paul encourages Timothy to be like this man (13:33-18:16). Shaddix then presents Paul’s three instructions to Timothy with the first one telling him to depend on God’s grace for strength in this race (18:17-26:36). The second instruction is to develop devoted disciple-makers who will continue to spread the Gospel (26:37-28:46). Shaddix explains that discipleship is key to spreading the Gospel and that there will always be someone who desires to pass on the Gospel baton (28:47-31:28). The third instruction is to share in the sufferings that comes with spreading the Gospel (31:29-33:58). Shaddix speaks of how Paul is trying to tell Timothy that sharing the Word is not an easy task; there will be hardships (33:59-35:42). He then gives Paul’s three illustrations in the second chapter of 2 Timothy that demonstrate how we are to fulfill the Gospel race: denial, discipline, and diligence (35:43-36:13). Like a soldier, we must deny ourselves certain things in life (36:14-37:02). Passing on the Gospel to others requires discipline—rules must be followed (37:03-37:19). We must be diligent in this race as it can be tiresome work (37:20-38:18). Shaddix makes the congregation aware of not letting gifted people miss the opportunity of running the Gospel race because they were not provided with a stable “baton” (38:19-39:39). He concludes with asking the congregation to pray to God to give them the strength to successfully pass on the Gospel baton (39:40-40:20).
