III. 1Timothy 4:15-16

IV. 2Timothy 2:23-26

For Your Encouragement:

1. Discuss with your mentor any questions about doctrine or the church that you do not understand.
2. Study the Word of God on a daily basis and never let go of the truth you learn from the Holy Scriptures. As Jude 1:3 says, “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints!”
