<p style="text-align: left;"><b>Summary</b>:<br>Paul says that his life is already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for him to depart has come. He has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.<br><br>What waits for him now is the crown of righteousness. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will give it to him on that day. The crown isn't only for Paul. It's also for everyone who has loved the Lord's appearing.<br><br><b>Teaching</b>:<br>A worker of the church carries out their ministry to the full. Paul says he has been poured out like a drink offering, meaning he poured his whole life into God's work. He lived a life like a drink offering.<br><br>The life of a proclaimer of the gospel, an evangelist, is to fight the good fight and finish the race. Proclaiming, spreading, and teaching this Word is a spiritual battle and a race of faith.<br><br>The work of the church we're called to do is to proclaim, share, and teach the gospel, and to win people as its fruit.<br><br><i><br></i><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Oct 16, 2026</i><i><br></i><i>2 Timothy 4:6-8</i><i><br></i><br> <br><br></p>
