Home Away From HomeAre you interested in investing in an IBCS student? We are looking for families to participate in the Home Away from Home program, where you “adopt” a college student. This means inviting them over for a meal every once in a while, praying for them, and giving them a sense of home while they are here at IBCS.

Sermon Notes

Equipping Servants for Future ServiceSpeaker: Pastor Ken Endean

Text: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

If you will faithfully serve the Lord, you must strive to be...

I. A _______________________________________ Teacher—v. 2

II. A ______________________________________ Soldier—vv. 3-4

III. A ______________________________________ Athlete—v. 5

IV. A _______________________________________ Farmer—v. 6

Both personal _________________________________ and

the Spirit's ________________________________ are necessary for

spiritual understanding (v. 7).

Question to ponder:

• To whom are you ____________________________________ the truths of the Lord?

• How are you _______________________________ against the spirit of the sinful world,

and how are you ___________________________ to please Christ?

• Where are you spiritually ____________________________ for the sake of Godliness?

• In what areas of your life are you _________________________________ and how

are you ______________________ ?
