    • 47 AD, Paul began his first  missionary journey. 
    • In Lystra, among the first to believe that Jesus was Messiah were Lois and Eunice
    • 50 AD, Paul began his second missionary journey. 
    • In Lystra, Timothy was recognized for his spiritual gifts of teaching, wisdom, and discernment
    • Spiritual gifts are special abilities God gives us for ministry
    • 64 AD, Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy.  
    • Discouragement - we become tired, lose our motivation, our attitude becomes negative, and false narratives start to play in our head
    • Fires naturally burn down
    • Rekindling is the act of simply pushing the collapsed wood together
    • How can I push myself, when my spiritual fire is burning down?
