It's About Time to Go Home: Part 2 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

2 Timothy 4:6- For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. In PART TWO of this series, we continue to address the issue of our deaths. Paul knew that his death was near and he knows that it is about time for him to go home to Heaven. Your death is an appointment you will keep. You won't be late for it. You cannot avoid it. By pretending it won't happen, by trying to forget it, or by refusing to talk or think about it, it will still come whether you like it or not, so you better be ready. You cannot escape it no matter what your age, appearance, address, abilities, accomplishments, or affluence. From the slum to the mansion, from the prison to the palace, whether you are a baby, child, teenager, young adult, or an elderly person... death comes to all. It will come when it is your time to pass through the valley of the shadow of death. You have a reservation with it. Paul referred to his death as a departure. It is from the word analusis {an-al'-oo-sis}. This is a tremendous word that describes encouraging truths about the death of the Christian. We look at the four ways this word was used in Paul’s day and how it relates to the death of the Christian. This message was preached on Wednesday night June 4, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
