La sermón de Joel Coyoc, titulado "Modelo de paternidad", se centra en la enseñanza de 2 Timoteo 2:2, donde Pablo instruye a Timoteo sobre la importancia de la reproducción espiritual. Coyoc argumenta que, como padres espirituales, los creyentes están llamados a transmitir el evangelio a otros, capacitándolos para enseñar también. A través de la Escritura, particularmente en las enseñanzas de Pablo, se sostiene que la fidelidad en la enseñanza del evangelio es esencial para el crecimiento espiritual tanto personal como comunitario. Las referencias al sufrimiento de Pablo y a la importancia de la gracia en la vida del creyente indican que la verdadera paternidad espiritual no puede existir sin reconocer las deficiencias y la necesidad de la redención en Cristo. La práctica de enseñar y reproducir el evangelio dentro de los hogares y la iglesia es fundamental para edificar una comunidad de fe sólida y unida.

The Bible emphasizes the importance of spiritual reproduction through teaching and sharing the Gospel.
In 2 Timothy 2:2, Paul instructs Timothy to entrust the teachings he received to faithful men who will be able to teach others. This highlights the concept of spiritual reproduction as a vital function of the Christian faith. The goal is to multiply disciples, ensuring that the teachings of Christ and the significance of the Gospel are passed down through generations. The Apostle Paul models this by emphasizing not his own wisdom, but the centrality of the Gospel, which is the very foundation of our faith.
2 Timothy 2:2
The Gospel is central to a believer's life, serving as the foundation for hope, salvation, and daily living.
The Apostle Paul stresses throughout his letters that the Gospel is not merely the starting point of the Christian life, but its very essence and sustenance. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, he articulately narrates the core of the Gospel—Christ's death and resurrection. The Gospel shapes our identity as believers, informing our actions and responses to sin. By daily recalling the truth of the Gospel, believers are reminded of their need for Christ’s grace, enabling them to navigate life’s challenges with hope and confidence in God's faithfulness.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Spiritual fatherhood fosters growth in faith, unity, and deeper relationships among believers.
Spiritual fatherhood is crucial as it models God's relationship with His people, promoting growth and maturity in faith. In 2 Timothy 2:2, we observe Paul’s role as a spiritual father, encouraging Timothy to transmit the teachings of the faith. This relationship nurtures accountability and support, allowing for the spiritual development of others. It reflects God's desire for His children to be connected, fostering unity and mutual encouragement within the body of Christ, thus strengthening the entire Christian community.
2 Timothy 2:2
Parents are called to disciple their children by instilling the Gospel in everyday life and teaching them God's truth.
Parents are crucial in the discipleship process as they are often the primary spiritual influencers in their children's lives. According to Ephesians 6:4, fathers are instructed to bring up children in the training and admonition of the Lord. This means incorporating Scripture into daily conversations, modeling godly behavior, and continually applying the principles of the Gospel. By doing so, parents help their children understand their identity in Christ and foster a loving relationship with the Lord. This approach also involves openness about one's failures and the grace of Christ, reinforcing the necessity of the Gospel in every aspect of life.
Ephesians 6:4
