Introduction

The series has provided our community with weeks of both encouragement and also challenge. We've been reflecting on the apostle paul's final letter to young pastor timothy in the urban city of ephesus. And so as we hear from doctor gerbisheers, we're hearing a call, an encouragement,. A meditation on endurance that's not coming from a young guy looking forward and saying, let's do this together, but someone who's looking back over life faithfulness and endurance. So man, i'm excited to have him teaching with us to day.
