Paul was on trial two times before Nero. And it, Ephesians, when we read Ephesians 6 Paul is in the period of his first Roman prison. In the book of Acts we read about that, Acts 28:30 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, 31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him. So when we read the letter of Colossians and the letter of Ephesians. This is during that time that Acts says he was in prison in Rome and the years were 60,61 and 62. But we have to remember that there was a second time that Paul was in prison at the end of his life. This is about the year 65 or 66 and at that time 2 Tim 1:16says he was in chains. And Paul at that time looked ahead to his martyrdom. 2 Tim 4:6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. So, this sermon is about Tychicus and it's also about Paul, but these two men lives in ways they go together. And I want to talk about three, three missions in Tychicus's life his; the first mission, we know the year is 57, was a mission of brotherhood. And when we read Eph 6:22 -23 Tychicus is sent on a second mission, a mission of encouragement. And then when we read the end of Paul's life, 2 Tim 4:12 Tychicus is sent on a mission to Ephesus to give strength. So I want to talk about these three missions that Tychicus did. And Eph 6:22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you.
