Tim Harper: A Testimony of Finishing Well (2026)

In this episode of the Sound Doctrine Podcast, Bishop Dr. Tim Harper delivers a stirring message at the 103rd International Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy, challenging us to live with faithfulness and finish the race well.

Drawing from Paul's final charge to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4, Bishop Harper reminds the church that the Christian life is not merely about starting well but persevering to the end. He explores the disciplines that sustain a lifetime of faithful ministry—preaching the Word without compromise, enduring suffering with Christ, cultivating spiritual formation, and faithfully passing the torch to the next generation.

Throughout the message, Bishop Harper calls the church to remain anchored in the truth of Scripture, to embrace both the beauty and the cost of discipleship, and to celebrate the unity of the body of Christ across every nation, language, and culture.

Filled with personal testimony, historical reflection, and a passionate call to perseverance, this message is a reminder that God has not called His people simply to begin the race—but to finish it faithfully. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." — 2 Timothy 4:7
